John Michael Cahill

Born into poverty in a house that used to be an alley, in Ireland in 1950. I was stolen by my grandmother at three months and never given back to my parents who lived across the street. It broke my fathers spirit and he took to the drink. From then on my other five siblings and I were destined for a big fat nothing, and three of us were even told we would be blind before becoming teenagers.

In our little attic my brother and I made gunpowder, talked on a beam of light ever before fiber optics was even heard of, and among numerous other inventions we blotted out the whole towns radio service for weeks.

As a teenager while sitting on an old castle window sill, I saw a vision of an American girl appear before my eyes, and I spent the next thirty years searching for her despite being married with three children. Eventually I did find her in Missouri in the USA, then a whole new life began for me, culminating in a trip to Monument Valley and this book, but its not over yet.

I work in Radio broadcasting, own my own Video Production company, and with my brother and his partner we also own two US Patents that will cure the killer condition known as Deep Vein Thrombosis. My life so far has been one amazing journey driven always by Hope for a better day tomorrow. This Hope was given to all of us by an extraordinary mother,in between Two Walls and a Roof.
