This was an interesting little book with one story being about a chance meeting of a doctor and a teacher, leading to their romance, and the second story about an Irish clan writing in a diary through the years. I could relate to both, but especially the Irish family, as I have Irish roots as well as a red-haired son. However, I had some problems with the book overall because of proofreading errors (I am a former proofreader for a medical publishing company.). I think the author had some good ideas, however.
