The People you meet on the Reek
A memoir exploring family, a place of natural wonder, faith and Irish identity across the generations.
The People you meet on the Reek was written for my children. To preserve the stories and struggles of their ancestors. To keep their sense of being Irish alive and out of gratitude to the people who have gone before us
The ancient celts knew about the ‘Thin places’ of Ireland and their healing and restorative powers.
Within the book the author explores encountering these “Thin Places” in unexpected locations
The book promises to be a journey of reflection with humour and joy contained within its pages
The intended date of publication is March 2026. In time for St Patrick’s day where it is hoped it will make a good companion for future trips to the Emerald Isle
