The new edition covers developments in Philomena's life since the book was first published, as well as full details about the birth of her other son and daughter, and why she kept their existence hidden for over fifty years to the extent that even Philip never met them. Philomena also deals with recent events in the continuing saga of Thin Lizzy, and the sad passing of her life-long partner Dennis. My Boy-The Philip Lynott Story, is an emotional rollercoaster that courageously confronts issues of drugs, single motherhood, emigration and adoption, and tells of Philomena's heart-warming re-rediscovery of the son and daughter she thought she'd never see again. As a special bonus, the new edition contains world exclusive interviews with Philip's half-brother Leslie James and his half-sister Philomena.
