Can we create deeper and more authentic lives by connecting with our ancestors? What is it about Irish spirituality and history that fascinates so many people? Local author Carolyn Brigit Flynn addresses these and many other questions in The Light of Ordinary Days: An Irish American Journey of Healing and Homeland. Flynn's memoir is a moving synthesis of one woman’s story of exile and homecoming, woven within Ireland’s history of ancient spirituality, colonization, and epic resilience. The reading will include refreshments and live traditional Irish music by Gluin. Novelist Regina O’Melveny says, “We truly find ourselves as we read and experience this profoundly courageous, honest, far-reaching journey that, in the end, brings us home to what matters.” Carolyn Brigit Flynn is poet and essayist, the author of the poetry collection Communion and three literary anthologies, and a popular local writing teacher who has offered writing groups and retreats called “Writing to Feed the Soul” in Santa Cruz and Ireland for more than 25 years.
