Family, faith, first loves, and late nights collide in stories that are as funny as they are fearless – an intimate, spirited portrait of a life well wandered.

From small-town Mayo to African kingdoms and Chicago streets, this memoir brims with wit, warmth, and unflinching honesty, as the author recalls a childhood shaped by Catholic rituals, family traditions, and unforgettable characters. We witness the joys of first loves and near-misses, the pull of emigration, the camaraderie of pubs and politics, and the search for meaning in faith, teaching, and travel. Laced with humour and compassion, these pages capture the music of memory – the laughter, the losses, and the quiet revelations that give life its poetry. Whether you are Irish by birth, heritage, or heart, A Stranger Walking The Roads will leave you laughing, reflecting, and longing for one more chapter by the fire.
