Title: A Good Family Book
Review: I bought this book for my 12 year old niece. Recently she joined in a family discussion about our Irish American family and Irish history in general. She was very interested but said that in school she learned that it was somehow wrong to be interested in her family history. She asked "Why don't they tesch this stuff in school?"Her comments sent me straight to Amazon to search for books on Irish American history. The Irish American Family Album provided a good introduction for my niece. The book is organized into brief selections highlighting people and events. It is a good introduction to the rich and often tragic history of a creative and determined people. Written in short chapters, with sidebars and first person accounts, the book provides interesting topics for additional exploration. Like all good family albums, this book can bring the generations together, spark informative discussion and provide insight into the family dynamics.
