WALKING TO THE FOOT OF THE SKY (HB)

A powerful, life-affirming memoir of grit, hope and rediscovery. When the weight of single parenthood and relentless responsibilities threatened to crush her spirit, Miriam Mulcahy chose to walk in a line across Ireland, from the Shannon to the wild edges of Roscommon and Leitrim. Alone, but never truly on her own, she found connection, courage and a new sense of self. And along the way she encountered strangers, reconnected with old friends and experienced the enduring kindness of meitheal - the Irish tradition of community help.
