Ahoy, Mate, Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy

Lisa Carmody Doiron will launch her new book, Ahoy, Mate, Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy, on May 2. 

 Set against the salty breeze and red cliffs of Prince Edward Island, Ahoy, Mate, Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy is a lyrical tale of love, legacy, and the special bond between father and daughter. Each morning, they cast their lines into the sea but it’s not only fish they’re reeling in. With every tide and tangled net, their connection deepens, tied fast like the Celtic knot that binds their hearts.

 Told in playful rhyme and gentle rhythm, this heartwarming story celebrates family traditions, island life, and the unbreakable threads that hold us together. Ahoy Mate Ahoy! Miss Molly Molloy is a joyful tribute to the magic of the ocean, the wisdom of a father’s hands, and the timeless passing of traditions.
