Case: Desmond Doyle
On the day after Christmas 1953, the 29-year-old Dublin labourer suddenly found himself a single father when he arrived home from work to discover that his wife had abandoned their family and taken off for England with her boyfriend.
It was Evelyn who years afterward decided to write an account of all that followed. She sent an outline to a BBC drama editor. For years nothing happened. Then scriptwriter and film producer Paul Pender discovered Evelyn’s draft. Sometime later she received a life-changing phone call.
“I was watching Star Trek. My friends know not to call me when it’s on. I said, ‘Who’s this? Bugger off, I’m watching Star Trek.'” The caller was Pierce Brosnan. He wanted to tell her father’s story.”
“He said that he hoped I didn’t mind him calling. I said: ‘Pierce, there are a million women who would sell you their children just to have you call.’ He is a completely charming man.”
Evelyn’s own account is published in her book, Evelyn: A True Story, which went on to become a bestseller. She said: “I thought the book would sell a few copies and I’d be happy. It went to number one in Ireland and number two in the UK bestseller list.”
It's a fact that laws and regulations are a bit favorable to women. It is good, but sometimes it backfires, and some women make false allegations against men. There are thousands of stories and cases of this particular situation.
