The Friendship Tree is the story of young Dublin-born Davoren Hanna (1975-1994), a gifted, cunning and often ruthless poet who, while profoundly handicapped, struggled to do justice in language to the turbulence and wonder within him. Davoren's mother, Brighid (1944-1990), a deeply intelligent and passionate woman, battled for years against the helplessness and scepticism of the experts in the face of Davoren's handicaps and, in the end, literally laid her life on the line to help give her son a voice.
In this book Davoren's father, Jack, gives a searing account of the heartbreak and exhilaration behind the sometimes baffling public face of his son, whose poetry won acclaim in Britain and Ireland, and whose ebullient spirit won the hearts of those he touched during his short life.
