Hello, my name is Pam and my 2nd book PENALISED has just been published. It is a prequel to First to Go.
The book follows the lives of a family in rural Tipperary in the 19th century. We hear about the struggle for Catholic emancipation at a difficult but important time in Irish history. Also the rebellions of 1798 and 1848, the potato famine, plague, faction fights, evictions and the Irish Brigade in the Papal Wars in Italy.
Five generations survived these troubles!
Based on genealogy of a real family with real historic facts.
Available on AMAZON www.Amazon.co.uk/Penalised
