Breakfast on Pluto Chapters from My Life by Patrick 'kitten' Braden
Patrick Braden grows up in Ireland in the 1960s and 1970s, brought up by a foster mother after being found abandoned on the priest's doorstep as a baby. A transvestite, he falls in with various entertainers, but is always ultimately searching for the mother he never knew, looking for her as he travels in Britain and Ireland.
