Book Description
Author Carole Mondragon brings a stand-alone story of adventure, romance, and finding home in The Irish Heirloom. In 1840s Ireland on the eve of the great famine, a young girl is gifted a diary in which to record her life, the writing of which extends its influence through time. Little does she know that this diary will one day beckon an adventure to her descendant, Erin Egan, who receives a call to come home to her roots. When Erin was a girl, summer visits to Ireland included a cozy cottage with glowing turf fire where the lilting accent of her beloved Great Aunt Maggie wove stories of ancestors into her imagination. This time when Erin arrives in Ireland, it is to attend the wake of her Great Aunt. Erin learns there is an inheritance, the receiving of which involves more than merely signing a form, for it can only be unlocked by a diary. Erin recalls Great Aunt Maggie's wrinkled old face as she told her, "Think of the family as a tapestry. Each of us brings our own story, like a single thread woven into lovely complex patterns and colors to produce a tapestry that's altogether both beautiful and deeply intricate." As she follows the trail woven through the pages of the diary, Erin begins to understand why Ireland sings to her soul as no other place can... Reviews of The Irish Heirloom: - "I absolutely love this wonderful story. The history is sad but true and the book touched me greatly." - Sharon, Nova Scotia, Canada - "I love that the diary is the thread that ties generations together. The donkey is hilarious and exactly what I expect from a story set in an Irish cottage. Definitely comes across to me from an Irish point of view which I simply adore." - Karen, Tennessee USA Reviews from other Series from this Author: - "This book is enchanting!! I felt like I was transported into a land of magic, mysteries and such love!! I could not put this book down!! I read it in one day!!! I like Kay. I think you do a great job in allowing us to really know her... what she is thinking, how she feels and even the fact that she is so unsure of herself at times!! After all, don't we all feel that way at times? Breathlessly awaiting the sequel: -)" - 5 Star Review from Nana2seven - "Carole is a great storyteller as I found out when I read the first book in the Tuatha De Danaan series. This is the second book in the series and I'm so glad I bought both books together. In this book, we meet Aiofe, Kay's daughter as well as the rest of the characters who all play a vital role in the tale. This story is a mix of happiness and tragedy, and although it is a complete book in itself, it has left me hungering for the third installment. Carole, please get writing!: -)" - 5 Star Review from Phoebe Wilby - "Wonderfully written and captivating read." - 5 Star Review from A. Masten - "Fantasy, romance, Irish folktale, what else could you ask for? I was captivated from the first chapter. The Irish accents read so well in my head. I enjoyed this book so much I bought extra copies for my family members!" - 5 Star Review from Ariel - "Ms. Mondragon brought me back to the Ireland of my childhood where every corner hid faeries, magic, and mystery. This book is easy to get into and flows nicely. It's really hard to put down." - 5 Star Review from Sheila Moody Don't forget to check out the other books from this Author -The Tuatha de Danaan Series Book 1: The Mists of Clonacool Book 2: The Secret of Clonacool Book 3: The Key to Clonacool

Book Description
Irish Aran knitting is a living tradition with a worldwide reach. Arans communicate warmth, comfort and a sense of home, which people the world over continue to respond to, even though the connection to our rocky outcroppings in the Atlantic Ocean may be long forgotten. Aran grew up in the harsh environment of the Aran Islands where everyday wear consisted of home-spun fabrics and knits. Today Aran survives as part of a rich craft heritage and as high and slow fashion on the catwalks of the world. Vawn Corrigan explores the history, mythology and growth of this iconic design in this beautiful and informative hardback book.

Book Description
The Irish Classical Self considers the role of classical languages and learning in the construction of Irish cultural identities in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, focusing in particular on the "lower ranks" of society. This eighteenth century notion of the "classical self" grew partly out of influential identity narratives developed in the seventeenth century by clerics on the European continent: responding to influential critiques of the Irish as ignorant barbarians, they published works demonstrating the value and antiquity of indigenous culture and made traditional annalistic claims about the antiquity of Irish and connections between Ireland and the biblical and classical world broadly known. In the eighteenth century these and related ideas spread through Irish poetry, which demonstrated the complex and continuing interaction of languages in the country: a story of conflict, but also of communication and amity. The "classical strain" in the context of the non-elite may seem like an unlikely phenomenon but the volume exposes the truth in the legend of the classical hedge schools which offered tuition in Latin and Greek to poor students, for whom learning and claims to learning had particular meaning and power. This volume surveys official data on schools and scholars together with literary and other narratives, showing how the schools, inherently transgressive because of the Penal Laws, drove concerns about class and political loyalty and inspired seductive but contentious retrospectives. It demonstrates that classical interests among those "in the humbler walks of life" ran in the same channels as interests in Irish literature and contemporary Irish poetry and demands a closer look at the phenomenon in its entirety.

Book Description
“Reynolds gives us a much-needed reason for hope. The gardener, the conservationist, the city planner, and the nature lover will all be inspired for this wonderful book shows how thousands of even small wildlife friendly gardens can provide habitat for embattled wildlife around the world.” —Jane Goodall, Phd, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace Individuals can’t save the world alone. But if millions of us work together to save our own patch of earth—then we really have a shot. How do we do it? With Acts of Restorative Kindness (ARK). An ARK is a restored, native ecosystem. It’s a thriving patch of native plants and creatures that have been allowed and supported to re-establish in the earth's intelligent, successional process of natural restoration. Over time, this becomes a pantry and a habitat for our pollinators and wild creatures who are in desperate need of support. These ARKs will become the seeding grounds for our planet’s new story. They will be sanctuaries for our shared kin—the rooted and unrooted—and safe havens for the magic and abundance of the natural world. Most importantly, the ARK-building actions are within our control and laid out here in We Are the ARK. In these inspiring pages, discover how one person’s actions can effect big change in this world. Even the tiniest postage stamp patch of land matters! Together we are building a patchwork quilt of life that will wrap its way around this planet.
