amylee218's review against another edition

3.0

I won this book in a giveaway. Like every essay collection, I enjoyed some entries more than others. My favorites were The Caretaker, about Margaret Haughery, The Father, about Father Edward Flanagan, and The Peacemaker, about Niall O'Dowd. As an Irish-American (who grew up with an Irish-Catholic grandmother and a bunch of great-aunts) I was happy to read of Irish people who have made a difference and succeeded in various fields.
