Subject: The Donegal Woman

From: Sean Throne <[email protected]>
You likely know me as Sean O’Torain, but I am also known as John Throne.
Under that name, I wrote a book a few years ago entitled */The Donegal
Woman/* <https://donegalwoman.com/>*//*
<https://donegalwoman.com/shop/>*/. /*To my great and happy surprise, it
became a huge hit and a bestseller in my native Ireland. You can see the
rave reviews here <https://donegalwoman.com/praise/>. I’m writing you
today to share with you a very happy announcement: */The Donegal Woman/*
<https://donegalwoman.com/shop/> is at long last available worldwide as
an eBook.
Less than 100 years ago, a form of slavery still persisted in parts of
rural Ireland—the hiring fair system. Children as young as seven or
eight were sold for fixed periods by their impoverished parents to
farmers who worked them to the bone, treating them as little more than
cattle. And often, even worse.
*/The Donegal Woman/* <https://donegalwoman.com/shop/>*//*is based on
the true story of my grandmother, Margaret. Born to the poorest of
Protestant farmers in the hills of Donegal, Margaret was hired out as a
child, raped by her master, and once pregnant, forced to marry another
man many times her age. Sadly, Margaret’s story reflects the experiences
of countless other women from her time and place.
But Margaret survived in a silent world of her own, driven by a
passionate determination to do right by her children. Margaret’s story
is a powerful reflection of the struggle against oppression that women
have long faced. Her resilience and strength is inspirational to all
women. Women the world over can identify with Margaret and see her tale
as the feminist call to action that it is.
I hope that you will take the opportunity to stop by my website, */The
Donegal Woman/* <https://donegalwoman.com/>, and learn more about the
book, and that my grandmother’s story will inspire you as much as it
inspires me.
Thank you.
Sean O’Torain
