Requests:  0 Summary:  Mikey was born into a Romany Gypsy family. They lived in a closeted community, and little is known of their way of life. After centuries of persecution Gypsies are wary of outsiders and if you choose to leave you can never come back. This is something Mikey knows all too well. Growing up, he didn't go to school, he seldom mixed with non-Gypsies and the caravan became his world. Eventually Mikey was forced to make an agonizing decision, to stay and keep secrets, or escape to find somewhere to belong. His father and grandfather were champion bareknuckle boxers in England's Gypsy community. But Mikey had no interest in fighting. He was proud of his heritage and loved his mother and sister, but as he grew older he came to realize he had a secret that would never be accepted: he was gay. This memoir reveals, for the first time, what life is really like among the Romany Gypsies. It is a culture apart, one that is equally more criminal and more puritanical than our own.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.89149 Walsh Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Biography B Walsh Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Walsh Wa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89149 Walsh Wa missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList
