Born in Ireland into a patrilineal inheritance system, Mary
Holliday recognised early on that there was no future for her in
the stanchly Church-controlled Ireland of the mid-20th Century. Her
"best" prospects were an approved husband followed by decades of
rampant baby making and domestic drudgery. Yet neither did she want
to simply embark on a ship for America, like so many young Irish
had done for so long. Faced with a love of her nation but a dread
of the crippling economic realities of her time, she elected to
follow her Aunt Alice's footsteps. As a first-born female of the
family, she too, like Alice would become a nurse. Armed with this
most portable of careers, the young Mary would forge her own way in
the world and, as if to prove that the fate of Irish youth is to
roam, she would eventually sail away from her Celtic home, first to
Africa and then to Australia. This collection of stories tells of
her journey, successfully navigating her way through life's
adventures. In reading them, Mary hopes they will provide some joy,
a sprinkle of laughter, a dose of inspiration and above all, a
desire to be accommodating, flexible and tolerant in your own way
through life. For if she has learnt one thing on her path, you
never get far if you are not capable of, Adapting.
