Again, I am going out on a limb here, but this sounds interesting.

"Travels With My Harp" is the latest book of memoirs from Mary O'Hara, published a few years ago. Anyone who knows O'Hara's story, recalls how she learned the harp in the first place: for a pageant on Thomas Moore and his songs, at school, with Ursuline nuns. O'Hara was one of three young women chosen to sing whilst playing a small harp. Another of the three was "Deirdre Flynn as she then was."

"Travels With My Harp" goes on to relate O'Hara's history, bringing us to her first marriage to a man who was diagnosed with a terminal illness and died too suddenly and too young, in his native United States where she lived with him. O'Hara relates how, after her husband's death, she returned to Ireland, and the same "Deirdre Flynn" was at the airport to welcome here. Her book states that the two remained in contact over the years, and considered each other friends.

I wonder....?
