SUMMARY:Jack Cashman's "An Irishman's Story Of Survival": A Maine Irish Author Event
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, June 1st\n2:00pm\nJoin us for an engaging afternoon with Maine author Jack Cashman\, including readings from his novel “An Irishman’s Story of Survival”\, Audience Q&A\, and book signings! \nAbout the Author:\n \nJack Cashman’s career has put him in a number of roles\, although the title of “Amazon Best Selling Author” is a relatively new one. Coming from a background of small business ownership\, real estate\, and insurance\, Cashman was first elected to serve in the Maine House of Representatives in 1982. After five terms in office and some time away from state government\, he returned to public service in 2003 in a variety of roles with the administration of Maine Governor John Baldacci. Cashman’s first book\, An Irish Immigrant Story\, was published in 2018 as a historical novel based on the story of his own family’s journey from Ireland to the United States during the time of the Potato Famine. Cashman’s unique background of business owner\, elected office-holder\, and government official combine with his creative mind to bring together a collection of stories unlike any author working today. Jack has spent nearly all of his life in Maine\, and currently lives in Hampden with his wife of nearly 50 years\, Betty. They are the proud parents of two sons and grandparents of five granddaughters. \nLearn more at https://jackcashman.com/ \nAbout the Book:\n \nEvery life is a tapestry of challenges. Amidst the torrent of trials that threaten to engulf one’s spirit\, there stands the unyielding souls who\, with a spark of defiance in their eyes\, dare to face the tempest and emerge on the other side. They are the survivors\, the dauntless hearts who tread the rocky path with an unwavering resolve. \nKevin O’Donnell is a beacon of such indomitable spirit\, grappling with life’s relentless waves that seek to subdue him. In the turbulent era of mid-20th century\, the world could be a harsh\, unforgiving place for a young Irish lad. Yet\, within Kevin lies a burning desire to carve out his niche\, to transcend the barriers that life hurls his way and grasp the reins of a fulfilling existence. \nCan his resolute will and earnest endeavor outshine the adversities that loom? Can he navigate the maelstrom and anchor himself to the shores of a prosperous life? Traverse the chapters of his journey within these pages\, and unveil the saga of a young man’s undying spirit amidst the trials of time. Through Kevin’s eyes\, explore a testament to the enduring human spirit that resonates with every beating heart that refuses to yield to life’s storms. \nThe winner of a Bookfest award in historical fiction and an International Impact Book award\, this novel is not one to skip!
