When LeRoy 'RoyDunfey called out Hey...Dunfey in his fried clam restaurant in the 1940s, at least seven of his twelve children would turn around. Then he'd point to the one he needed without having to remember names. Roy and Catherine 'Kate' Manning had met and married thirty years earlier as teenage workers in Lowell, Massachusetts textile mills. With little formal education or resources, but with a store of humor, entrepreneurial zest, and spiritual roots, they collared the American dream starting out in 1915 with Dunfey's Orchestra, a luncheonette, and a baby every two years through the Great Depression to the doorstep of World War II. Written by their twelfth child, this saga reveals the lasting influence her parents had on each of their dozen kids: around the kitchen table digesting political fare; over restaurant counters meeting a diverse world of people; into and out of convents serving as educators; on to Boston's Parker House, Omni International Hotel boardrooms, and, for forty-five years, still around the table of the family's not-for-profit Global Citizens Circle's civil dialogues.
