After spending almost 40 years as principal of a mid Cork national school, Baile Mhúirne man Con (Corneilus) Lynch has embarked on a new career.
And while Along The Right Path is not the first foray of the former Rylane National School headmaster in the self publishing world, it is his first novel.
The book traces the vastly dissimilar pathways to ordination and subsequent lives of two very dissimilar men.
The many tragedies in the life of one man leads him to the brink of alcoholism, wreck and ruin, though eventually - thanks to a caring guardian angel - he is led to walk along the right path.
