To Carry an Angel

To Carry an Angel

Sean T O Sallaigh

This story was written by me to share with you my experiences and the joy I have felt in my life because of my Mothers presence in my life. Its about our time together, the love between us, all our shared pain, her courage undefined, undefeated and finally understood through my eyes and her actions. Within this book you will feel our lives, her difficult life living with addiction, poverty and judgement. The violence she endured. Her loss of love and children who died at birth and young youth. Its an educational travel along with us as I capture it all. But finally in the last years of our time together we both found peace and contentment. I am happy because of her, she loved me.

I enjoy asking those who have already read this book what in their opinion its about?

I am told that its a love story, a Mother son relationship story, and a story of hope is what I am often told. In fact I think each covers what it means to me.  For me its a look at a woman who challenged the norms, she rejected any idea which told her she could not be equal because she was a woman.  She felt and thought with her heart regardless of the outcome, her heart was her intelligence.

was in early march of 2020 that I sat down to write my first book, I was making notes and writing in long hand for two years before that so finally I began this journey. I had recently found poems and letters which I had written from as young as 11 years old until 2019, these grounded me in my thinking and they revealed to me who I had been all my young years and within those writings my Mother and stories of her were always present.
