Seven of John and Bridget Nestor's eight children left their farming life in "the lovely green vales of Kilshanny", County Clare. One, whose name has been forgotten, went to Australia and the other six settled in New England. They and their offspring found work in factories, railways, police, domestic service, and show business. Some served in the armed forces. Their lives were unexceptional with illnesses and domestic upheaval touching parts of the family.

From the UNESCO Heritage Sites in Vilnius's Old Town to the Baltic seashore on the Curonian Spit, Barbara Fay Boudreau recounts and lavishly illustrates the two weeks she and her daughter spent Circling Lithuania. This small country is a popular destination for European vacationers. The author shares her impressions of the country's beauty, history, and culture, and highlights a visit to her grandparents' village, Virbalis. Read this book and prepare to pack your bags.
