Notes:
Originally published: London : Macmillan, 1957."Born and bred in a humble quarter of Galway _ Sullivan is an actor, blessed and cursed from the start with the actor's gifts and temperament in full measure. His deepest affections and loyalties are determined in boyhood; but, if he is to follow his star he must leave his home, with all its attachments and obligations; and the girl who represents for him the truth of living, not the pretence of the stage. His career takes him from Dublin to London, then to New York, where, if it was really the material tokens of success that he was seeking, he had them in abundance. But was that all? Had he paid too much for them? Was he to go on paying that price? He had come to his cross-roads, and it took two men and a woman from the old life and a human dynamo from the new to give him his true bearings. Walter Macken has combined his skill in depicting Ireland and its people, with his experience of the theatre as producer, playwright and actor to produce a warm-hearted, appealing story that will last long in the mind." _ jacket.
