Whatever your thoughts about the conflict of school, religion, rumour, romance, and the terrible toll of taboos in Ireland, The Harp That Once will carry them to another realm. Set in Ireland from the late 1950's through the early 1960's, this dynamic piece of historical fiction intertwines the love Christopher Bennett not only feels for the beautiful Jennifer Sullivan, but for the Catholic religion, as well. A gifted teen athlete, Christopher uses soccer as an escape from his struggles with the inherent conflicts between Irish Catholic "morals" and his earthlier desires. Throw some mysticism into the mix, and you have the makings of a story you won't be able to stop reading This special second printing includes an executive summary entitled: "Understanding The Harp That Once."
