  Interesting story with a delightful twist at the end. Just right for St. Paddy's Day.

  Marcia's latest book may be her best work yet. It touches on themes of the importance of heritage, closeness and support of families, and of those experiences beyond our consciousness. It is well worth the few minutes it takes to read this short book.
