description: "Years and years ago when I was still a child in the marble city of my mind, I sailed the sky in a silver ship with an old man and his goat." Myths and legends, ageless rivalries, ghosts from the past and spirits awakened, these were the playthings of a child's imagination in the magical city of Kilkenny, Ireland. In the 1940s, children huddled to glean from their elders tales of woe and whimsy, and breathless were they who listened, gleaning what they could and learning what they chose from mistakes made long ago. Judas in Kilkenny is the true story of one woman's coming of age in the Marble City. A young Theresa Lennon must put aside her childhood dreams in order to strive for peace in her tumultuous home life, and fight for her own independence, while trying to hide the secrets of a family headed for destruction. In the midst of chaos came solace, in the form of an old man who would help her find the truth.
