Revelation in the Roots Nancy Flinchbaugh

The Magnificent and Marvelous Book Club (the MAMs) return in this adventure to explore their Irish roots. The ancient spirits of a leprechaun, St. Brigid, and an African-American matriarch conspire to awaken the travelers to possibilities. Grieving, reluctant Abigail considers opening her heart. Black ex-convict Welby and Reagan, a white nurse in recovery, find attraction, yet come from opposite ends of the political divide. The group explores the Emerald Isle, pauses for listening circles, retreats at the well of St. Brigid, gathers at a peace center in Northern Ireland and, ultimately, finds new hope for their own lives and America.
