OVERHOME: And Other Kitchen Table Tales

Come follow a family, descended from the Celtic people of Europe, through their history. These stories begin in Central Europe and then take you to ancient Spain, then on to Ireland. You will experience the injustice of British rule and taste the potato famine. You will accompany a young boy to the Americas in 1847. You will feel the bitter cold of Northeast winters and the warmth of a loving family. You will share the joys and sorrows of that family as they live and grow at the turn of the 20th century.
