内容説明
Resilient, strong, and unabashedly Irish, Kathryn "Fifi" McFadden has lived through some of the most tumultuous decades of American and world history. Through the years, she became a consummate storyteller, regaling her children and grandchildren with tales from her life. Fifi always said she should write a book, and now, with the help of her son Philip, she's done exactly that. Full of vivid historical detail and the wit and wisdom only Fifi can bring, The Last Unicorn takes you from her family's humble origins in Ireland, through her own innocent youth, growing up in depression era Tarrytown, New York; to her life as a struggling working mom raising five sons, and to the twilight of her years. With insightful glimpses of life on the American home front and the Pacific theater of combat during World War II, the turbulent times of the 1960s and 1970s, and the dawn of new millennium, Fifi provides an eyewitness account of these historic periods. Fifi's tales encompass all the joys and sorrows life has to offer. Taken as a whole, they paint a portrait of a remarkable woman, as well as the many lives she touched and helped shape. The Last Unicorn; is not only a family history, but a tribute to Fifi and her incredible generation.

Great Read

I met Fifi in 2000 and was so taken by this exceptional woman. We sat and talked over breakfast one morning and she had told me stories of Tarrytown aka Sleepy Hollow. It is only after reading this book did I truly understand how this woman knew so much about this place. It was an honor to meet such an interesting woman. Phil does a great job in writing this book about his mother. I strongly recommend this book.
