And So I Did is a touching memoir of a girl growing up Catholic in the mostly Protestant city of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The story follows her from the innocent age of three, until she meets her husband-to-be. It is filled with an abundant mixture of happy and sad events. When she is fourteen, her close knit family emigrates to the United States where life in another country offers new challenges. The author's warmth, humor, and insight make this a story with which everyone can identify.
