The Jenny Muck by Wm. Anthony Connolly

Can you account for the entirety of your life? Mary couldn't. More and more when she looked at her life, the signs pointed toward something more - but what exactly? The Jenny Muck is her story of discovery, a journey of hope, realization and awakening, which takes her back to her Canadian hometown and ultimately to Scotland. Sometimes going home is the only answer to our questions. The Jenny Muck is the sensitive account of a belated coming-of-age at mid-life.
