Off The Tracks: A Beatnik Family Journey is a coming of age novel set in the whorl of the early 1960s, when the first cracks in an idealized American life were revealing themselves. Kate, a resourceful eleven-year old girl craves home and security. Her mother Ellie falls in love with a Beatnik and adopts his alternative lifestyle in an attempt to create a new family unit. Hilarious, poignant and sad, the characters explore alternatives to conventional relationships and identities as they travel to places that are deeply affected by Cold War events.

John Brady (1813-1900) was born in County Cavan, Ireland. He and his wife, Katherine (1822-1885), were married in Ireland and their first two children were born there. They had nine children, 1845-1866. there. The family immigrated to the United States in 1847 or 1848, and settled at Rochester, New York. The family followed the oldest child, Phillip Brady, to Fort Dodge, Iowa, ca. 1877. Descendants lived in Iowa, Tennessee, Illinois, Montana, California, and elsewhere.
