The Strange Tale of Rory McSpade — Paul Johnston

Rory McSpade was born with a mutated gene that caused him to look different from other people. Even as a child he had hair growing on portions of his face that are normally bare. He also had hair growing on the backs of his hands. This tall skinny red headed Irish youth faced ridicule and bullying from other children who believed him to be cursed. They tormented him with their "doggy noises". When faced with the sorrows of the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840's and a need to provide a home for not only himself, but also for his two younger sisters, he risked his life to sail to America. America was the land of dreams and gave him his only hope of being able to provide for his family. Follow this young man's strange journey and see how God used what Rory considered a curse to work good in his life and the lives of others because of him.
