The author’s warmth, humor, and insight make this a story with which everyone can identify.

  A Delightful Memoir , 11/20/2003
Reviewer: Deanna Tiddle
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll empathize with this child as she grows and adjusts to changes in her world, just as every child must do. The author's special "voice" makes this a story with which we can all identify. While reading this book, you may recall experiences and feelings from your own youth that you might not have thought of for a very long time.

  Ah, the lilt of the Irish , 12/15/2003
Reviewer: Dolores Cullen
There is a lilt to the prose that is a delight. The serious bits gave me an understanding of the continuing clash of faiths in Northern Ireland, even though the reason for such enmity still eludes me. Read the book. You'll love it.

  And So I Did , 12/15/2003
Reviewer: Dolores McManaman
Delightful. Absolutely Delightful. The title intrigued me and I was not disppointed. Not only easy reading but I learned about Ireland and its people and problems. I could actually picture being in Ireland and knowing the family. Hope She writes a Part 2.

Reviewer: Judy Vigo
A charming romp through the early years of a gifted Irish storyteller, this warm-hearted memoir is both hilarious and uplifting. It is a delightful coming-of-age tale of the middle child in a loving family.
