Carrick Mór

This amazing book describes a time and a place so well, you feel you are there amongst the characters. A family story of love, loss, joy, pain and hope. At times, I was reminded of the opening scenes of Trinity, with the vivid descriptions of Irish families and living conditions in Donegal in the late 1800s. However, this book is more than just history and more than just a memoir. It tells of the importance of family and connection; to loved ones, to traditions, to Ireland, and to the enduring importance of heritage. We should all be so lucky to have such a detailed account of our ancestors' lives. With great admiration for the people who lived through these tales, I encourage all who are seeking greater connection (to their own families, to traditions, to heritage) to read this wonderful book.

This is now my favorite Max Benjamin diffuser scent. So fresh and just like a real orange:)

This amazing short novel was so fun to read. It keeps you engaged completely, and moves at a fast pace, back and forth in time. I learned a great deal about Michael Collins and his times, but I also loved the intriguing way the story unfolds between past and present. A great ending, too!

Good
