Ireland is magical and mysterious, an ancient place of fairy hills and holy wells, friendly pubs and pints of Guinness, green countrysides and wild coastal tides. Award-winning journalist Anne Driscoll found herself a stranger, alone in Dublin for a year, when she arrived as a US Fulbright Scholar to teach law students at the Irish Innocence Project at Griffith College how to investigate wrongful convictions. Her year unfolded with unexpected adventures, welcomed friendships, mishaps, hijinks, and hilarity, but right from the beginning she was charmed and beguiled by a country that loves stories, celebrates characters, and believes conversation is a currency more valuable than money.
Read her mini-memoir, recalled each month on the anniversary of her arrival. And in these digital pages, she shares her tales of rowing currachs down the Liffey, climbing two mountains in one day, visiting 1200 year old monasteries and 12th century pubs. This book is for both the armchair traveler and active adventurer, the dreamers and the daredevils, the writers, poets and storytellers, and all the activists out there lead by their passions.
This is an Ireland you won't read about in tour guides and it's one you won't soon forget. It's for everyone who is Irish and for anyone who wished they were.
