Growing up on the Farm chronicles Michael J. Danehy's coming of age on the family farm in central New York State. Mike's children grew up hearing these sometimes hair-raising stories of their father's early days. Life was rougher and less examined back then; today the escapades of Mike, his siblings and neighbors would have been on Facebook, landed them in juvie by eighth grade and ruined their future careers How did Ma put up with them? How did Sue know she could tame this Wildman and turn him into a great husband and father? Why did she ever let him tell these tales, which set a dubious family precedent for drinking, fighting and poor hygiene? Today Mike and Sue have many descendents. In the words of Francis Danehy, "None of this would have happened if my grandfather hadn't come over from Ireland."
