Spring in My Step

After three years and numerous operations she returns home to Limerick, changed. She walks with calipers and her absence from the poverty of home creates problems - Joan is a stranger there. She must learn to fit in. Her efforts to disguise her limp, attract boys and find acceptance sometimes bring comically disastrous results. In a quest for love and romance, she explores all avenues. Could she possibly find love by correspondence?Mcdonnell, Joan is the author of 'Spring in My Step', published 2005 under ISBN 9781846170232 and ISBN 1846170230.
