Frank Gillan Book Launch

They Can’t Take the Kids: The Mooney/McCarthy/Gillan Legacy by PEI author Frank Gillan explores the author’s Irish ancestry and features two matriarchs—the Gillan’s mother and grandmother. Widowed with young children, they each managed to keep their family together in an era when women had few rights. It is a story of courage and resilience, qualities passed down through their Irish lineage.

Book launch events will take place at the Haviland Club in Charlottetown on May 22 at 7 pm, and at the Morell Fire Hall on May 25 at 2 pm.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the launch events.
