It was a time before rural electrification, the telephone, and indoor plumbing; a time when the main modes of travel were bicycle and animal cart; a time when small farmers struggled to survive and turkey eggs were hatched in the kitchen cupboard; a time when the Church exerted enormous control over Ireland. We Were Rich and We Didn't Know It recounts Tom's upbringing in an isolated, rural community from the day he was delivered by the local midwife. With tears and laughter, it speaks to the strength of the human spirit in the face of life's adversities."--Amazon. 600 10 $a Phelan, Tom, $d 1940- $x Childhood and youth. 600 10 $a Phelan, Tom, $d 1940- $x Family. 600 10 $a Phelan, Tom, $d 1940- $x Homes and haunts $z Laois. $z Laois. 650 0 $a Authors, Irish $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, Irish $y 20th century $x Homes and haunts $z Laois. $z Laois. 651 0 $a Laois (Ireland) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Country life $z Laois. $z Laois. 651 0 $a Laois (Ireland) $x Social life and customs $y 20th century. 941 $a 7 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626015001.0 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516014231.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728020257.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924015427.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200110012407.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20190611010235.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190502023940.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7855C2546CA011E9A39CB90697128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
