Elvis, Jesus and Me
There are three idols pinned up on the wall above Ger's spot in the top bunk in their house on a council estate in Northern Ireland: Jesus, Elvis, and Neil Armstrong. When all three fail to answer her prayers to become a boy, Ger takes it upon herself to perform her own mini miracle with a strategically placed sausage. This is only one of her attempts to change her identity, aided somewhat unwillingly by Seany. And even though larger, tougher forces — both in their family and in their country — impinge on Ger and Seany's plots, these bond between the two means they never quite lose their engaging sense of humor and grit.
