Living with gypsies! What could be worse, Kathleen couldn't imagine, until her father decided to take up bare-knuckle boxing as a way to earn money for their family back in Belfast. Conditions in post-war Ireland were bad. Not as bad as the Great Famine of a century before, but bad enough to force skilled men like Jim McKenna and his daughter Kathleen to walk from town to town, sleeping in meadows and under bridges, in search of work. Meeting up with the gypsies gave them a roof over their head and some food in their bellies if they didn't mind thieving to get it but it was, oh, so different from their snug little home where Kathleen's mother and young brothers waited for them. But Jim wasn't the only one with battles to fight. Kathleen, too, would have to learn to stand up for herself, if she was to come to terms with all the changes in her life.

About the Author:
Elizabeth Radmore was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to James and Mollie McKnight. In 1951, her father emigrated alone to Canada, so that he could find a job and a home for his wife and three children: Elizabeth, Jim and George. The family settled and prospered in Ottawa, and although James and Mollie have since passed away, Elizabeth remains close to her brothers.
Elizabeth has previously published a collection of poetry, winning an Editor's Choice Award for one of the poems, and an article about the dangers lurking in our everyday environment that was distributed nationally. Cushla is her first novel.
Elizabeth and her husband live in Ottawa with their calico cat "Cali" and their beloved black Lab, Chelsea. Elizabeth's children, Jason, Natalie and Rachel, are grown, and live close by with families of their own.
