MARTHA LONG was born in Dublin, Ireland, in the 1950s and still lives there today. She is the author of seven Ma books recounting her life from decade to decade, all of which have been bestsellers in the UK and Ireland. She calls herself a "middle-aged matron" and has successfully reared three children.
"Dublin – in all its splendor and grit, poetry and profanity
– is once again brought to life by Martha Long’s irresistible
voice. Her many trials and tribulations are no match for the fierce
determination and wicked sense of humor she so deftly deploys. Brew
up a strong pot of tea and get ready for a wild, often dark but
always inspiring ride through 1960s Ireland." —Tom Deignan, Irish
Voice

"Long's story is a gritty, grueling, and heartbreaking testament to
one girl's unbreakable spirit." —Publishers Weekly
