This book is more than a collection of random prose and poetry. It is my poetic expresion and personal journal of Irish experiences in chronological sequence. If you have Irish ancestry or simply a desire to someday visit that magical green island, by reading my entire book, you will experience what it is to find such wonderment only to lose a treasured new friend who was responsible for finding the 'real' Ireland of ould.

About the Author: |
|
Third oldest of eight children, family and genealogy have always been an important part of my life. As co-founders of BIGS, Buffalo Irish Genealogical Society in Buffalo, NY, my husband James and I have traveled to Ireland in search of our ancestral homes. Now we travel to Ireland to reunite with the wonderful friends we made there.

Book Review: |
|
This book is unique in the fact that these poem/stories are about real people, places and events that occurred while on my quest for family heritage in Ireland. All my original illustrations and drawings were drawn free-hand in pencil then scanned and saved as black and white drawings to get the wanted effect.
My collection of poems, prose, and drawings was inspired as I tried to make sense of my first experiences with my Irish-American heritage, being third generation descendant of an exile, and by the local folk that troubled themselves on our behalf in our searches.
