1I wrote this book during the Covid-19 lockdown, Feb-July 2020. It was important to me to pass on my Irish heritage to my girls. I want them to know what it was like growing up in the fifties in Ireland surrounded by the richness of extended family and the love of music. The heartbreak of leaving home, the stupid mistakes I made because of insecurities and the importance of having God in one's life. And most of all because my Granddaughter asked me to do it.
