Extraordinary window on Irish sons dramatic life

This book performance dramatically offers us a window into a world few have ever seen through a complete set of sounds in and around the life of a 13 year old son of Irish royalty. His experiences are so thoroughly relayed, listening to him was like watching a movie because visualizing the events within the sounds was so immersive. The life and loves of Justin will fondly live on with me for a long time after listening to this unforgettable story. A sequel is needed!
