Beautiful book, Great story! Tip O'neill is a colorful, friendly, but caring personality. I am not from Boston and only 1/8 Irish but I loved this book. Tip was a great Story teller. But what most impressed me for a boy whose mom died when he was 9 months old how impressive his father Tom Sr taught him to be caring and love other people. His father was always giving away clothes and food. Tip who grew up in Cambridge , Massachusetts where Harvard was for only the rich at that time and the "poorer people were shunned. Tip went to Boston College. AS soon as he graduated he ran for political office and spent 54 years of his life in public service. We need more caring individuals in government who care and are honest. Tip led an exemplary life. This was a 10 out of 10 book.
