Listen "Jackie McCarthy O’Brien And Her Memoir ‘We Made It, Kid’"
Episode Synopsis
Jackie recently published her memoir, ‘We Made It, Kid’, described as “compelling, heartfelt and inspiring”.
The book certainly has a lot to cover: from Jackie being born to an Irish mother and Jamaican father in the UK, then being placed in an industrial school as a baby by a priest for being an "illegitimate" and so much more besides.
Jackie joined Alan Morrissey on Thursday's Morning Focus.
