Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The mother who relinquished her child through adoption has long been the forgotten part of the adoption circle. Until recently, it was expected that these mothers would forget about the child whom they had relinquished and that they would continue with their lives as if their child did not exist, it was presumed that they would never want to know what happened to their child, nor ever want to meet their child again. For many mothers this was not their experience. They were unable to forget their baby and their wish was always that they would, sometime in the future, have a chance to meet and have a reunion with their child. This book examines the experiences of a group of mothers who have had a reunion with their child who had been placed for adoption. The emotional experience of adoption and reunion and how it impacted on their lives is told through the mothers' own accounts. All of the mothers had their reunions facilitated through an adoption agency. Issues in relation to the practice of adoption agencies and the services offered to the mothers are examined. The policies and practices of agencies which the mothers found helpful or unhelpful are outlined.Adoption goes beyond the legal life of the contract signed at the time of relinquishment. For natural mothers it has life-long consequences which impact on reunion and beyond. This poignant study records these experiences from the point of view of natural mothers.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. "A fascinating trawl through a very personal history." - Irish Gazette "A stirring story of Easter Week that has gone untold until now." - Irish Voice It's April, 1916. Dublin GAA footballer Frank Shouldice has just won the Croke Cup. It's a big achievement for the up and coming star, but he has other things on his mind. Two weeks after the final whistle he's on a rooftop in North King Street with a rifle in his hand. His cheekbone is grazed by a bullet smashing into the wall behind him and, according to a confidential military file, Frank Shouldice is killed in action. Except he's very much alive. His brother Jack commands the barricaded street below. In some of the heaviest fighting of the Easter Rising the South Staffordshire Regiment can't budge a pocket of Irish Volunteers defiantly holding out. Desperate to get the upper hand, the South Staffs storm the barricades after dawn. Through the sights of a borrowed pair of binoculars Frank takes aim from the Jameson malthouse high above. The street is soon littered with casualties and the British troops are forced to withdraw. Pearse's surrender begins the next chapter of this extraordinary story. In the eventful years that follow, Frank, formerly a civil servant at the Land Commission, will spend jail terms in Stafford, Brixton and Wormwood Scrubs.When he gets home to Ballaghadereen, County Roscommon he is placed under close surveillance by MI5, the military and police in Ireland. He is court-martialled in Frongoch internment camp when as Hut Leader he protects other prisoners from conscription. Incarcerated at Usk Prison in Wales he leads a daring four-man escape to freedom. But he didn't like to talk about it. And when Ireland's War of Independence descends into Civil War he lays down his gun forever. Drawing on prison letters, personal diaries, secret military and police files, Grandpa the Sniper retraces a remarkable journey by a reluctant hero. Extensively researched and written by his grandson and namesake, it's a fascinating trawl through a very personal history. Part biography, part memoir, it offers readers a rare insight into one of the quiet men who gave their all for Irish freedom. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Laura and Lynn's Story recounts the heartbreaking tale of the McKenna family, who lost both daughters to illness 20 months apart. Laura, aged four, died very quickly and peacefully after the final surgery to repair a hole in her heart, having previously spent seven months of the first year of life in Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin and gone through three previous surgeries. On the day of Laura's surgery, Lynn, aged 13 at the time and never sick in her life, was diagnosed with leukemia. Laura died the following day, never having woken up, and Lynn was already a patient in Oncology at Our Lady's Hospital. After eight months of chemo and other aggressive treatments, she was in remission for about five months before she re-relapsed. While waiting for a bone marrow transplant her condition worsened, and there was nothing else that could be done. In her last week Lynn wrote letters to all who had been so wonderful to her, including her doctors; saw friends; said her "goodbyes"; arranged her funeral and wrote her will. When she was too weak to write, Jane did it for her, but she dictated.How she coped with her illness, her adored sister's sad death and her own imminent demise is an inspiration to us - she wished it could be different, but accepted it with such dignity, aged just 15. She lived every minute of her last weeks to the full, which is how we should all live our lives. Knowing that she had to do something to deal with her grief, Jane set up LauraLynn House, Ireland's first children's hospice. Opened by President Mary McAleese in September 2011, LauraLynn House has provided hundreds of sick children and their families with the care, comfort and respite that a children's hospice brings, especially the wonderful care at the all too sad end-of-life. Laura and Lynn's Story is a tribute to two brave little girls whose lives were cut short, but it is also a testament to the remarkable resilience and determination of their mother, Jane, who was unwavering in her desire for something positive to come out of the tragedy. With numerous contributions from families who have benefitted from the care and compassion they received from the children's hospice, this book is ultimately one about hope and courage.
