Annie's Girl: How an Abandoned Orphan Finally Found the Truth about Her Mother

Maureen Harte’s earliest memory is of watching the woman she believed to be her mother walk away and abandon her to the care of the nuns at one of Ireland’s notorious industrial schools. She was just three years old. She would remain in the orphanage until the age of sixteen, subjected to cruelty and neglect, and starved of love and affection.It was an environment from which none would emerge unscathed. Annie’s Girl stands apart as a poignant testimony to the resilience of the human heart. This touching and evocative memoir is the incredible story of an illegitimate industrial school survivor’s profound struggle to overcome a shame-filled past and solve the mystery of her origins.

Annie's Girl reached number six in the Non-Fiction Bestseller List.

FIONA CASSIDY_________________________________________

Fiona Cassidy, aka writer, mum and excited wife-to-be Fionnuala Cassidy, is a novelist and creative writing teacher who lives in Northern Ireland. Her books, Anyone for Seconds? and Anyone for Me?, are published by Poolbeg Press in Ireland.

Anyone For Seconds?

Anyone For Seconds?Meet Frankie McCarthy, single mother to Ben and Carly, PR Guru and a woman who finds men who wear glasses irresistible. Enter Owen Byrne (Clark Kent minus the manky y-fronts).  He’s sexy, dynamic and is everything a girl could wish for. The one fly in the ointment comes in the form of his difficult teenage daughter, Angelica (who was obviously named before she was able to criticise her father’s choice in girlfriends.)

The path of true love never runs smooth but for Frankie and Owen the road is particularly treacherous (a minefield would be safer).  Second chances don’t happen very often and when they do the best advice is to grab them with both hands.  The question is: will Frankie and Owen have the courage to stand together when it matters most and become a family with 2.4 children, or is that 3.6 children?  

Anyone for Seconds? reached number six in the Mass Market Bestseller List.
