My Celtic Soul

Patricia O'Brien

My Celtic Soul, Our Year in the West of Ireland, is a romantic adventure novel about an Irish-American copule who realize their dream of returning to the land of their ancestors. My Celtic Soul sets off with our two main characters, Pat and Mike O'Brien, who take on the unlikely task of running a bed and breakfast in the West of Ireland, for a year. Having given up all else, this is the means by which they are able to explore their ancient homeland and their Celtic roots. The foibles and surprises they meet are only the beginning. Kevin, the handsome farm hand, Mary the gregarious housekeeper, and the beautiful school teacher, Eileen become vital to the hilarity and fun surrounding Pat and Mike's discoveries about Ireland. In the tradition of bestsellers A Year in the Province by Peter Mayle and Under The Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes, My Celtic Soul is anecdotal, humorous and upbeat. It also has a universal appeal that will entertain all readers while taking them on a rollicking romp through the Irish countryside. This is the book that the five and a half million tourists who visit Ireland each year would like to take with them. It will also appeal to the fifty million Americans claiming Irish ancestry, who yearn to make a connection between America and the old sod.
