Irish praise

Tracy's book includes so much of what I think it takes to be an Irish American - the humor, the wisdom, the sarcasm, the hard-work, the struggles. I recommend it highly for anyone interested in the Irish culture or looling for inspiration. Then again, I may be a bit biased, as Tracy Quinn is my twin sister!

I really enjoyed this book .

I really enjoyed this book and it was fun to read. I hope to buy it soon and would recomened it to any Irish person who wants to laugh, cry and more. It really does have a lot of shared and not shared wit and wisdom of the Irish.
