All ages event | Wheelchair accessible
Come meet author Ellen B. Alden and local historian John L. O’Sullivan.
In an extraordinary act of fate, Ellen met John in Ballinhassig, over 5 years ago. She was yet another American researching her Irish roots…but John took the time to help her learn more about the Great Famine and the history of Ballinhassig in the 19th century. Although Ellen later discovered her family was from West Cork, she fell in love with the quaint village of Ballinhassig and chose to use it in her historical fiction novel, Yours Faithfully, Florence Burke. Ellen will be signing books and chatting with her Ballinhassig friends. All are welcome to this event!
