Finding Joy is her first book. She joins Róisín Ingle — columnist, features writer, author of Pieces of Me and Public Displays of Emotion, and producer and co-presenter of the award-winning Irish Times Women's Podcast — for a live conversation that the Irish Times will record for the podcast. Part of Jan Brierton's Wild Words.”
