Fear é Pádraic Sheáinín a bhfuil taithí aige ar dhá shaol éagsúla. Rugadh i dteaghlach i gConamara é ach tógadh i Ráth Chairn, Co. na Mí é. D’fhás sé aníos i measc glúin a tháinig ó cheantair gharbh an Iarthair, ach chaith sé a shaol i machairí míne féaraigh na Mí.

Cnuasach cuimhní cinn atá sa leabhar seo a insíonn scéalta óna óige, ina measc cuimhní maithe ar na daoine as Conamara a thug cuairt orthu i Ráth Chairn. Déanann sé machnamh ar a ghairm bheatha fhada san earnáil fáilteachais, ar na blianta fada a chaith sé ina ghníomhaí pobail i Ráth Chairn agus ar an tionchar a bhí ag an obair seo ar a shaol.

Pádraic Sheáinín is a man who has experienced two different worlds. He was born into a Connemara family but raised in Ráth Chairn, County Meath. He grew up among a generation hailing from the rugged regions of the West, but he spent his life in Meath’s smooth, grassy plains.

This book is a collection of memories that recount stories from his childhood, including fond recollections of the people from Connemara who visited them in Ráth Chairn. He reflects on his lengthy career in the hospitality sector, the many years he dedicated to being a community activist in Ráth Chairn and how this work influenced his life.
