Elephant on Main Street

This is this story of Eamon a little boy growing up in Northern Ireland in the sixties before he succumbed to Leukaemia a few months short of his seventh birthday. The book describes specific aspects of his short but remarkable life all written from his perspective. Each chapter has a footnote which charts the history of the conquest of childhood leukaemia which commenced during his lifetime. The book is based around actual events and things which Eamon said and did which have been passed down. Eamon has the benefit of perspective so he can describe events that have yet to happen which have a bearing on the life of his family.
