Erin s best friend,Orla,is a bit of a rebel. She s always getting into trouble and has a bad attitude. But Erin loves her anyway.

Dear Reader,




It is my pleasure to introduce you to this, my memoirs, written and edited by me, Erin Quinn. My friend Clare gave me this notebook for Christmas, and I think I'm going to use it as a diary. I mean, all the great writers kept diaries, and it seems a bit shameful that I've never actually managed it before. But this year is different. These are extraordinary times in Derry - historically, politically, and culturally, and I suspect that it may soon become clear that I'm... well, the voice of a generation. After all, writing isn't a choice. It's a calling.




I hope, dear Reader, that you enjoy, cherish, and value my insights.
