Free as a Bird by Patrick Touher

This is Patrick Touher's sequel to Fear of the Collar, his memoir of boyhood in Artane Industrial School. The book opens with his leaving of Artane. It then traces his life to the point where he marries, settles down and becomes a family man. In the meantime, he recounts, with great honesty, the difficulties faced by an institutionalized young man in coming to terms with the adult world. Poorly educated, with no family connections, utterly naive in sexual matters, he none the less made it from his unpromising background to a normal life.
