Searching for the Sealskin

On a daily basis, I have been asked why I came to Ireland. This memoir is an answer that question. It is about ordinary people and everyday lives in extraordinary times. As an American, I had a unique opportunity to be a part of both the Protestant and Catholic way of going. The experience of both communities is told with humor, and the transition from Belfast to Donegal, from city to country, is shown with the perspective of an outsider to both! Remarkable changes have taken place in the North, since I first ventured there in 1996 and this is one of the stories.
