Highly regarded woodpecker expert Gerard Gorman presents a unique natural, social and cultural history of woodpeckers.
When at St Colman's College in Newry, Gerard Gorman was abused by paedophile priest Father Malachy Finegan. Gerard was so traumatised that for many years he was unable to talk about what had happened. Brave and open-hearted, 'So Young' is a powerful account of abuse and a damning indictment of an institution that continues to stonewall victims.
