Doves and Demons

About the Book

As an Irish Catholic, I extend an invitation to all who are open to reading this book: to share the humanness and joy I have witnessed in my life. My stories are intended to give a unique perspective of the times in which I’ve lived. There are many other events in my seventy-five years that I could have chosen to write on, but I’m hopeful that those I’ve selected portray the times, the grandeur and beauty of my faith, and the comfort and sincerity that it affords. I’m hopeful also that I will always be able to recognize the doves and the demons in my life and that all others can do the same.
