Vivid and gripping, especially having just returned from Ireland and having visited the National Famine Museum in Roscommon. I just cracked Tom Hayden's edited volume called Irish Hunger that deals with the collective trauma of the famine, passed down through generations. I love your stories about growing up. Keep writing.
Oh, my, such a tragic story, and gripping! Great details on the history of the family and your mother's growing up. Waiting to hear more.
Thanks for reading, Karen. More to come!
She looked so happy in that photo. What hardship she went through! I don't know how your mom's life lived out, but that's a lot of trauma to process.
Thanks for reading, Ilona!

Thanks for reading it, Neil! You keep writing too!!
What keen observations of your family, Linda. I found the last two paragraphs especially moving.
Thanks for reading, Jackie!
