Mad, isn't it?

Doran, Emma2024
Books, Manuscripts
On a solo trip with her best friend to a Wexford caravan park, a barely 18-year-old virginal(ish) Emma Doran discovers it only takes one time to change your life forever and end up covered in stretch marks. Finding herself preparing to do her Leaving Cert in a maternity school uniform, hopes of a glittering acting career (which began with a feted primary school performance as middle-aged alcoholic Mrs Hannigan in Annie and culminated in a case of stage fright as Caroline Aherne's famous Sister Mary Immaculate in transition year) are derailed. Baby in tow, Emma spends her college years getting up at 7 a.m. and going to bed at 8 p.m. By 24, her idea of a good weekend is perusing the aisles of Home Store + More for new cushions to brighten up her living room. But on the verge of turning 30, an opportunity arises, and Emma finds herself back on stage again.
