In 1960, my father, John Cushnan, left our Belfast home, his wife and seven young children, and vanished. The next we heard of him was when we were told he had died at 57 in Clapham, London in 1982. By this time he had reinvented himself as John Kelly from Derry. Apart from anything else, he left us with a mystery of 22 missing years.
This book is the result of much research done by me to find out about his life post-Belfast. I found out a lot. It is also the story of my heroic mother, Rita, who raised her seven kids as a single parent.
