Publisher's Synopsis
Barack Obama's is an American story, but it is an Irish story, too. Falmouth Kearney, Obama's great-great-great-grandfather, was born in Moneygall, Ireland, in 1839, lived through the famine years and left a devastated country for America in 1850. This is the full story of the Kearney family and the country they came from - it is also the story of two students who met in 1960 and had a child: Ann Dunham from Wichita, Kansas - a direct descendant of Falmouth Kearney - and Barack Obama, Sr., a Kenyan from Nyang'oma Kogelo.
