But one day he notices a young maiden in his glen and can't help but wonder... what is she doing in a place like this?
Patrick discovers the young woman is trying to escape her father's clutches and thinks of a way to help her, by giving her a magic potion to give to her father that will set him straight. But will the potion work? The Leprechaun of Shady Brook is a fun tale that will make you believe in the magic of leprechauns.
About the Author
Martha Conan grew up in central New York. She was adopted at a young age and had two brothers and one sister. Her father was a physician, and her mother was a social worker who remained home to take care of the children. Snow and water skiing, swimming, and hiking were common activities, as well as attending concerts, football, and basketball games. Conan attended a Catholic high school and college while studying ceramics and art history. She went on to graduate school at Syracuse University and received a degree in rehabilitation therapy with a focus on mental health and substance abuse. Wanting to learn more about holistic healing, Conan applied and was accepted into a program for acupuncture and Chinese medicine at New York State Chiropractic College. Unfortunately, she was not able to complete her second master's degree due to her declining health.
When Conan was diagnosed with Lyme disease, she was able to implement the information she gained throughout her years in school to forge ahead and look outside of the box to heal. She has a strong Catholic faith. As a result of her complications with Lyme, Conan is not able to work, but does run a Lyme support group in her home for Lyme patients and their family and friends. She is a member of ILADS, the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society and on the board of the Empire State Lyme Disease Organization.
