To Bid Me Adieu

About the Book

It is a book about my great-great Grandma (her death certificate says Ireland, but doesn't name the county), and her half-Cree Indian husband, named Robert Brooks. It is a book about the Great Lakes between Canada and the United States, and voyageurs.

About the Author

I came to Belfast for four years in 1996 as a peace and reconciliation worker from the United States and I fell in love with the west of Ireland and Donegal. Since then, I just went back to the States for visits. I live with an assortment of ‘over 55’s’ in an apartment building in Dungloe, County Donegal. I am 70, and, at long last have an Irish passport. I have three daughters, one in Illinois, one in Alabama, and one in Saudi Arabia.
