An Irishwoman’s Tale
My Thoughts:
I truly enjoyed this book! It was a great read that while taking you back in time to the main character’s childhood, it didn’t leave you confused or overwhelmed. It does deal with some sensitive issues and emotional trauma, but it is truly a great book! I do recommend this one!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Patti Lacy graduated from Baylor University in 1977 with a B.S. in education. She taught at Heartland Community College in Normal, Illinois, until she retired in 2006 to pursue writing full time. She has two grown children with her husband, Alan, and lives in Illinois.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Far away from her Irish home, Mary Freeman begins to adapt to life in Midwest America, but family turmoil and her own haunting memories threaten to ruin her future.
A shattered cup. Cheap tea. Bitter voices asking what’s to be done with the “little eejit.” Mary, an impetuous Irishwoman, won’t face the haunting memories–until her daughter’s crisis propels her back to County Clare. There, in a rocky cliffside home, Mary learns from former neighbors why God tore her from Ireland forty-five years earlier. As she begins to glimpse His sovereign plan, Mary is finally able to bury a dysfunctional past and begin to heal. Irish folk songs and sayings add color to the narrative.

Thanks so much for reading the book! I enjoyed your website. And thanks for connecting with my Mary. FYI, she\’s alive and very well (as are her daughters) and raising sheep on her old farm.
Blessings,
Patti
