Almost two years ago I read one of the most harrowing yet uplifting real-life stories ever, Gypsy Boy by Mikey Walsh.
Forget Big Fat Gypsy Weddings and everything you know about gypsy life from TV.

Today I finished reading Mikey Walsh's follow-up book, Gypsy Boy on the Run. In fact, I've just finished it, about 5 minutes ago. I still have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat.
She writes. She blogs. What's she on about now?
