Absolutely loved this book!
I love all things Irish and have enjoyed many great books by awesome writers, but this hands down was the best of any book yet! The women that contributed to this book were so spot on about what their Irish mothers passed down to them. Sharing how they took what was passed down to them and turned it into some very inspiring conquests and was to make a living from those lessons. So much good information that one reading this book can use the same to apply to themselves. This should be taught to all young women so their road to adulthood could help them take the information and apply it to there future. There is nothing so great as choosing a career that brings you not only financial security but one that you love so much it is not so much work as it is enjoyable. I know this thru my own experience, I was one of five of the first women in the state I loved in to graduated in carpentry. A job that made me secure with out having to rely on any one to take care of myself and two children after a bad divorce. A job that never felt like work but one I looked forward to well into my seventies. I still do some for myself and for gifts to loved ones. Though not big projects but woodworking as a hobby I still love to do it. Thank you all for a great and inspiring readers. Pegge

I am learning Irish tunes on the fiddle recently and have been moved to read Connorton Kagerer’s books.
Oh she and her amazing cousin Prendergast Gordon can write!
Why is it that every time I pick up this book (I keep it close by for inspiration) I read one of their masterful chapters or even a page or two and am inspired to pick up my Irish fiddle and practice and play along as I read. You have got to experience what I am; please read this do we can discuss!

This was the last gift my Mom gave to me before she passed away. Wonderful stories, so uplifting. I will certainly re-read these stories to stay close to my Mom and my Irish roots.
