Description
In Counter Culture we meet The Dunfeys, an Irish Catholic, Lowell, MA, family with mill worker parents and twelve children who started a hospitality empire, that included Omni International Hotels, from a luncheonette and fried clam stand on Hampton Beach, a seaside resort in New Hampshire.The book has been endorsed by such dignitaries as Archbishop Emeritus Desmond and Mrs. Leah Tutu. They noted the engaging storytelling as well as the life lessons the book offers, when they said, "This spirited and spiritual journey of the Dunfey family is shared in loving, often humorous stories that reach from a mill town in America to townships in South Africa. Thank God for parents who inspired their twelve children to make a difference in our world." The book is well-illustrated with 250 black and white photographs including the Kennedys, Coretta Scott King, Malcolm X, Gloria Steinem, Nelson Mandela, and many more.
