The Shanty Irishman and the Lady - Hardcover

by Vennie Anderson (Author)

Narrated by a much-loved grandchild, herself now old enough to be a grandmother, the story is about two young people, betrayed by their first loves, who found one another in an unexpected way. Because they're first cousins, some considered their blossoming love anathema. They didn't care and spent the rest of their lives unashamedly loving each other. It is also the story of a family, a mother, father, son and daughter who loved and were loved by the two titular lovers. The book brims with love, between mothers and daughters, grandparents and grandchildren, people and pets! There is also humor, the best kind stemming from interesting people in unexpected situations and the adage that truth is stranger than fiction. You may laugh, and you may cry, and when you've finished the book, you will know you've met real, genuine people, and you'll probably love them.
