I Am Patrick

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of a traditional coastal community, the memoir explores the challenges of farming, poverty, and religious influence. Patrick navigates the conflicting expectations of his father, who prioritizes farm work, and his mother, who aspires for educational opportunities for her children. As the seventh son in a teetotal, non-smoking family, he grapples with his identity and seeks his own path amidst these pressures.
