Jackie McCarthy O’Brien And Her Memoir ‘We Made It, Kid’

Jackie recently published her memoir, ‘We Made It, Kid’, described as “compelling, heartfelt and inspiring”. The book certainly has a lot to cover: from Jackie being born to an Irish mother and Jamaican father in the UK, then being placed in an industrial school as a baby by a priest for being an "illegitimate" and so much more besides. Jackie joined Alan Morrissey on Thursday's Morning Focus. Photo (c) Jackie McCarthy O’Brien
