About The Book

FROM THE OUTSIDE IN

An Author

Is a story of a lady that was born in 1929 and has witnessed every life changing events that happened since the day she was born to the present day?

The most heart-breaking was sending her sons to work from the age of 14 even if it meant taring a family apart to survive.

The accounts witnessed by her last son James breaks free of his memories as a child has never forgotten his mother’s love and how she protected him from the harsh world of a forgotten era which he rememorizes in a beautifully illustrated account as a child what it was like growing up in the small town of Castlecomer Co Kilkenny Ireland from 1967 to 1981.
