Hello Bookie:

Where are you getting all the books? Are they all e-books? Any about Ireland?

I was born in South Carolina. My family left Ireland sometime before 1824 because that is when my grandma's great-grandfather was born in the US.

I know I'll sound like a weirdo, but I believe in genetic memory. There is no other way that I can explain the longing that is deep within me for Ireland. There are times it almost consumes me.

I want to go there someday. I don't truly feel 'home' here in the US. Something is missing, a sense of belonging maybe, although this is where I was born and have lived my entire 41 years. It feels as much a part of me as my children do.
