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 love that the diary is a 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
— "I absolutely love this wonderful story. The history is sad but true and the book touched me greatly." —Sharon, Nova Scotia, Canada
— "Wonderfully written and captivating read." — 5 Star Review from A. Masten, USA
— "This is such a wonderful read for everyone but especially those who yearn to return home. It is my dearest wish to return home as well "- 5 Star Review from Momma Bear, USA
— "I loved this story about Erin Egan. Having Irish roots myself, but never visiting, I felt this book take me there and introduce me to the cottages, the towns, the weather, the food, the animals, the castles, and the wonderful people. Thanks to the author for writing such a realistic book, a story within a story, and showing me a bit of the Irish. Oh, and that little touch of romance added such a delightful effect to it all. I loved every minute" - 5 Star Review from N. Danzy, USA
