'Compelling, heartfelt and inspiring. I found this book so real. so honest. It has taught me about drive, ambition, persistence and love. And what it means to be really Irish! A triumphant story of achievement in a world made for men!' - Katriona O'Sullivan, author of Poor

Jackie McCarthy O'Brien has led a truly remarkable life, from being born in 1961 to an Irish mother and Jamaican father (whom she never met) in Birmingham to growing up in Limerick. She was put in an industrial school as a baby by a priest for being an "illegitimate" black child and not recovered by her mother until she was five.

As a teen she excelled at sport and played for Ireland in soccer, but when she was sexually harassed by a coach she changed to Irish rugby team. She got married at 21 before accepting her sexual feelings for women, and leaving the marriage with her three young children.

'Compelling, heartfelt and inspiring. I found this book so real. so honest. It has taught me about drive, ambition, persistence and love. And what it means to be really Irish! A triumphant story of achievement in a world made for men!' (Katriona O'Sullivan)
'A story about identity, adversity and what it takes to be yourself when you stand out ... you will be recommending it to everyone, not just sports fans' (Louise Lawless)
'Jackie is a trailblazer, not only in sport, but in life, love, resilience, and the journey of finding her identity. As someone navigating multiple cultures being a woman of colour, her story hit home in powerful ways. I laughed, cried, and saw many parts of myself in her journey. This book is for everyone, but especially for those who have ever searched for where they truly belong' (Marguerite Penrose)

a few weeks back Jackie was on a podcast promoting this so I was intrigued. a great memoir from a person who seems to have lived around five lifetimes in one! Her narrating the highs and lows of her life makes the story telling even more compelling. highly recommended.
