Heirlooms Of Ireland PDF Download

Author Carole Mondragon brings a stand-alone story of adventure, romance, and finding home in The Irish Heirloom. In 1840s Ireland on the eve of the great famine, a young girl is gifted a diary in which to record her life, the writing of which extends its influence through time. Little does she know that this diary will one day beckon an adventure to her descendant, Erin Egan, who receives a call to come home to her roots. When Erin was a girl, summer visits to Ireland included a cozy cottage with glowing turf fire where the lilting accent of her beloved Great Aunt Maggie wove stories of ancestors into her imagination. This time when Erin arrives in Ireland, it is to attend the wake of her Great Aunt. Erin learns there is an inheritance, the receiving of which involves more than merely signing a form, for it can only be unlocked by a diary. Erin recalls Great Aunt Maggie's wrinkled old face as she told her, "Think of the family as a tapestry. Each of us brings our own story, like a single thread woven into lovely complex patterns and colors to produce a tapestry that's altogether both beautiful and deeply intricate." As she follows the trail woven through the pages of the diary, Erin begins to understand why Ireland sings to her soul as no other place can... Reviews of The Irish Heirloom: - "I absolutely love this wonderful story. The history is sad but true and the book touched me greatly." - Sharon, Nova Scotia, Canada - "I love that the diary is the thread that ties generations together. The donkey is hilarious and exactly what I expect from a story set in an Irish cottage. Definitely comes across to me from an Irish point of view which I simply adore." - Karen, Tennessee USA Reviews from other Series from this Author: - "This book is enchanting!! I felt like I was transported into a land of magic, mysteries and such love!! I could not put this book down!! I read it in one day!!! I like Kay. I think you do a great job in allowing us to really know her... what she is thinking, how she feels and even the fact that she is so unsure of herself at times!! After all, don't we all feel that way at times? Breathlessly awaiting the sequel: -)" - 5 Star Review from Nana2seven - "Carole is a great storyteller as I found out when I read the first book in the Tuatha De Danaan series. This is the second book in the series and I'm so glad I bought both books together. In this book, we meet Aiofe, Kay's daughter as well as the rest of the characters who all play a vital role in the tale. This story is a mix of happiness and tragedy, and although it is a complete book in itself, it has left me hungering for the third installment. Carole, please get writing!: -)" - 5 Star Review from Phoebe Wilby - "Wonderfully written and captivating read." - 5 Star Review from A. Masten - "Fantasy, romance, Irish folktale, what else could you ask for? I was captivated from the first chapter. The Irish accents read so well in my head. I enjoyed this book so much I bought extra copies for my family members!" - 5 Star Review from Ariel - "Ms. Mondragon brought me back to the Ireland of my childhood where every corner hid faeries, magic, and mystery. This book is easy to get into and flows nicely. It's really hard to put down." - 5 Star Review from Sheila Moody Don't forget to check out the other books from this Author -The Tuatha de Danaan Series Book 1: The Mists of Clonacool Book 2: The Secret of Clonacool Book 3: The Key to Clonacool
