Simpler, stranger but undoubtedly tougher times. Someone gave me a copy of this book when they had finished it.

My take away message would be: don't bottle up your emotions, just speak to the people who are closest to you - we are all wounded in some shape. I had heard great things about her output but had a stack of other stuff in my "to read' pile. Connect and banish the demons.

This was my first time reading Megan Nolan (a fellow Waterfordian or Deise denizen! "I'm a good person and other people think so too". I recognized the Waterford streets and sights.

). We are all products of our past no matter how hard we strive to escape it's clutches.
