Description

Manette Ansay ("Ann") grew up in a small town not unlike the one she immortalised in "Vinegar Hill". Her faith was the Catholicism of her family, and her passion was the piano, which she practised for hours each day. However, by the time Ann was accepted into the prestigious Carnegie college for further musical studies, the pains in her arms and legs were becoming difficult to ignore, and eventually she had to abandon the career she had chosen and the music she loved as life became an endless round of treatments. As she rebuilt her life, she began to write. In this memoir, Ann describes how difficult it was to find her own "voice" as a writer, and the great liberation that came when she did. One of the most remarkable things about this story is not simply the great courage the author has shown, or her lack of bitterness, but that all this happened before she was 30.
