We are diverse in locale, diverse in hobbies, and similar in temperament. I don't know what keeps a functional family from becoming dysfunctional. Maybe it's in the genes, but I doubt it.I haven't studied this, nor have I read in depth on it. I've pondered, as so many others have, and I've read the psychobabble current in magazines and books. So many theories and so little sense. May I hazard a guess that we will never really know in our lifetimes.The O'Farrell family-father Jim and his two children, Anne Marie and Jimmy-tell their individual and collective tales of life in New York as a functional Irish family in today's dysfunctional world.As diverse as any three branches of the same Irish tree, their adventures and exploits are intense and riveting. Hilarity and love accompany each moment as they openly share their lives, where every day is a new adventure.There is no sadness in their stories; disappointments, failures, successes, and joys are described in an atmosphere of heightened reality. Read their stories, cheer at their successes, and enjoy their journey!
