An acclaimed singer\/songwriter, he is proud of the way he handled his difficult past: poverty in the 1950s Dublin slums and the brutality of the Artane Industrial School. He felt as though he had safely disposed of it all, until one night, while writing the powerful song that would launch his highly-praised album, \u003ci\u003e800 Voices \u003c\/i\u003e(A searing testament. --\u003ci\u003eIrish Times\u003c\/i\u003e), Danny's past crept back to haunt him. Confronted by forgotten memories of betrayal and abandonment, he was stunned to discover that his eight-year-old self was still trapped in a world he thought he had left behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough unnerved by his experience, Danny begins an arduous journey that leads him back to the streets of Dublin, the tenement slums, and, ultimately, the malice and mischief of the Artane playground. What he discovers with each twist and turn of his odyssey will forever change his life. Elegantly written, this is a brutally honest, often harrowing, depiction of a young boy's struggle to survive orphanage life, and stands as an inspiring testament to the healing power of music and love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danny Ellis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611458927\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611458923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcade Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013 pg. 24","brand":"Danny Ellis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938785329407,"sku":"9781611458923","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7d44f883-8a04-4006-8ba6-32d0e8a914d4.jpg?v=1681437704","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-boy-at-the-gate-danny-ellis-9781611458923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
