Jean Murray takes the reader through the changing face of Ireland from the post war years to the present day. And the journey, described with a lyrical Irish voice, is seen through the eyes of her family, through drink addiction, violence, poverty, success, love and fear and eventually the overcoming of depression. And at the centre of this autobiography is her daughter, Yasmin, the girl with disabilities whose own struggle shows her mother the way to freedom in life: Her beautiful flower.
