Michelle Vernal answered JOHN COOP's question: Why is the baby named Kieran at the end of Rainbows over omaras and the called Connor in the following book about the reunion? Hi John, a big apology for this. It was an oversight and the change has been made so Kieran is Connor. Again, so sorry and I hope you enjoy reading future O'Mara family stories. All the best Michelle.
