Produktinformationen zu „The Pirates of Clontarf (ePub)“
Polly OBrien is a girl of twelve who is desperately trying to save her father from the clutches of alcoholism. While attending Catholic school in the 1950s, she aspires to write and figure out lifes mysteries without much guidance. Experiencing a frightening existence, she escapes by writing a book with the help of a ghost. Polly is visited by a spirit as she begins to pen a tale about the Irish Potato Famine.
The apparition helps her to create by relating her own Famine story, and offers some advice. Dailearie ODonovan, the visitation, tells of her adventures during the Famine in Ireland. By pirating and taking grain to county Mayo where their relatives previously died, she and her brothers hope to be the hand of Gods bounty.
This narrative describes coming of age before the era of information and the Internet, and the horrors of An Gorta Mr, The Great Hunger. It recounts the real difficulties that are often experienced by children and adults alike that have lived with someone suffering from alcoholism.
Both the spirit and the very young author eventually find solutions to the devastating problems they both encounter

Autoren-Porträt von Mary Ann Hart
Mary Ann lives in the East Village of New York City with her husband and two cats. Starting to write at age seven, she never lost her interest in writing although fashion defined most of her working career. She doesn’t consider herself a “writer” but merely an emotionally damaged individual. Suffering from insistance of the nuns that she had a gift for writing from the time she was seven, she has written this book.
An unusual interest in Irish history and Irish culture has been part of her entire life. Nineteenth century culture and sail boats have been an area of personal study. She is passionate about historic preservation, especially of Catholic churches. Mary Ann loves animals of all kinds and would have many more pets if her husband would allow it. She also maintains an strong interest in Old Time radio.
Mary Ann graduated from Central Washington State University with a BA in English Literature and a minor in Art. She also has a certificate in French couture and a degree in Fashion Design from FIT.
