Irish Mist - Kris J. Rennie

As the guests raised their glasses in a toast to Edith's 45th birthday, the house shook from its foundation to the top of its steel roof, the windows rattled in their frames, and a deafening blast came from the direction of the far-back shed.

"Whoo Hoo! Isn't this a party!

      Happy Birthday, Edith!"

Her mother talked to walls, her grandmother listened to Owls, and she played tag with a little boy who wasn't there, a child who followed Maisie and Gramma B on their transmigration from the tiny outport of Never You Mind, Newfoundland to Back of Beyond, Saskatchewan.

Irish Mist is the saga of the interwoven destinies of two families and three generations, of worlds seen and unseen, of wisdom and healing in the face of tragedy.
