By Dan Walsh at Gorey Library
Gorey Library was a busy venue this afternoon for the celebration and launch of a new book called In My Own Time from a new local author Carrie Finn.
Originally from Dublin but living in the Gorey area for the past 17 years, Carrie is a proud first-time self-published author.
Carrie enjoyed the occasion and was busy signing copies after reading several passages from her work in the presence of a captive audience.
Two decades in the making, In My Own Time explores the early heartache Carrie experienced when she lost her Dad, to having three children by the age of 26 and navigating Autism, ADHD, and their family being built around a huge secret that could have blown their world apart.
This book is also the story of two teenagers who had everything stacked against them from the start but created a unique and loving family despite it all.
Carrie’s memoir speaks to parents, especially parents of children with special needs, those grabbling with mental health struggles, and anyone touched by grief or feeling like the ‘black sheep’.
“It offers comfort and empowerment, showing that the bravest journey is often the one where we embrace our true selves.
“This book tells it all. The good, the bad and the hard truths. It is our story,” Carrie told WexfordLocal.com at the well-attended launch.
In My Own Time by Carrie Finn, 150 pages, is available for purchase at www.carriefinnauthor.com
