Book Title- Meanderings
REVIEWED BY MICHAEL SHACKLETON (Cape Town)
"Meandering is a fitting title for this book of random reminiscences. The author’s approach is to present a series of moments and people in her past who helped her, as she remarks, “to live my life to the full”.
O’Hea was born in Durban in 1920. Her mother, who had recovered from the frightful flu epidemic of 1918, had a devotion to St Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower. Fearing that the effects of her illness would prevent her from bringing a normal baby into the world, she prayed to the Little Flower. When her baby was born a healthy little girl, she named her Petal, to honour the saint."
