Micheleen Emmett O’Shea by Deirdre & Jim McCarthy
A young girls chance encounter with a leprechaun leads her to understandings that there are many things in life better then gold!
p.s. My husband reminded me that the story was my idea and I got it off to a good start before I asked for his input. Lots and lots of tea drinking went into the making of this story. So my hubby Jim he wants me to have first billing, ha ha. Can’t wait for spring!
