Rose Murphy has found an Irish life story not yet told sufficiently in her new book "Ella Young: Irish Mystic and Rebel." Young rubbed elbows with Yeats and Maud Gonne, while also participating in the Civil War, which ravaged Ireland in the 1920s. Later in life, she emigrated to California and dazzled crowds with her recollections, while also falling in with a group of pre-hippy, pre-Beat West Coast free thinkers.
