Ordinary Miracles new edition 2007 Click to view on Amazon

Jasmine Smith: forty next month and not ready for it; married to a man she likes and not prepared to give up on love; smothered by life’s mundanity, and yet drawn towards its mystery. She wants the sort of love that makes her feel more alive, she wants wild sex in stalled lifts with film stars. She wants something else….
Jasmine Smith is in desperate need of a miracle. And with the help of an adventurous school friend, a man called Charlie and a pig called Rosie she is about to find one.
A sharp, funny, moving novel and an exhilarating invitation to step out of quiet desperation and re-discover the magic in life and in love.

    Looking through the website and your books, have you done an autobiography on your life. I know the rectory at Ballyorgan, my mother came from there, Steepe. I have spent many a holiday in Glenosheen, although I live in Durban. I am too old to travel now but enjoy reading the history of the area. I will contact Kil.Cosh. Hist. Soc re their journal No. 4
    I know Canon Manning and the last rector, Brian Snow.

  2. Dear Bill,

    Many thanks for your message.The rectory at Ballyorgan was a very nice place to live in…a lovely big house in beautiful countryside. And the local shop sold marshmallow mice. I really liked them when I was a little girl. We left Ballyorgan when I was very young and moved to another rectory in rural Co. Limerick. No I haven’t written an autobiograpy…not yet anyway! However I have written autiobiographical articles and ‘personal’ radio scripts.

    I visited Durban many years ago. It seemed like a lovely place and very sunny!

    Warm wishes,

    Grace
