NOBODY'S CHILD - IRISH NOVEL BY ANNE KELLY

How can I describe my enthusiam for writing about my country and my people. I could adjectives to describe the land such as spectacular, magical, warm, earthy, musical; i could go on and on. Such is my deep passion for Ireland that I wanted to capture some of it's history and I wrote Nobody's Child.

The story is everything that Ireland means to me, brave, strong, soft, gentle, nurturing, and so much more. Read this book and you will experince many emotions as you see things through the eyes of a child trapped in the horror years of the infamous famine. It tells how her parents, like so many parents at that terrible period in our history, were forced to send their beloved daughters Aine and Molly to the poorhouse in a desperate attempt to save their lives. I say desperate because to send anyone to the poor house was almost always a signature for their death, such was the cruelty and condition within those frightening establishments. Go and buy Nobody's Child and read just what this child went through along with her little Sister Molly, I guarantee you will break your heart more than once as the story unfolds. I hope you enjoy reading my book. Anne Kelly.
