Some people search for the truth of their lives in their families and in their past. Some go back to their roots in an effort to discover who the people were who helped shape their lives. Kevin O'Hara did just that. A Vietnam vet, Kevin was left with unanswered questions and a gaping hole in his heart. So he went home, home to Ireland. Not the place of his birth, but his mother's homeland. He went to try and sort out the sort of man he was and try to find a way back. Kevin's journey began as a mad lark: who in the world ...

Some people search for the truth of their lives in their families and in their past. Some go back to their roots in an effort to discover who the people were who helped shape their lives. Kevin O'Hara did just that. A Vietnam vet, Kevin was left with unanswered questions and a gaping hole in his heart. So he went home, home to Ireland. Not the place of his birth, but his mother's homeland. He went to try and sort out the sort of man he was and try to find a way back. Kevin's journey began as a mad lark: who in the world would convince themselves that they could circle the entire coastline of Ireland in a donkey cart. Along the way, Kevin meets some of the more colourful examples of Irish wit, humour, (and temper), and through adversity, sheer folly, and some joy, finds out just the sort of fellow he'd become.. And the man he could be. Told with humour and love, The Last Of The Donkey Pilgrims is a book for those who need to make the journey of the soul.. And those who wish they could.

I really enjoyed this book which reads like a diary. I love Kevin's willingness to do this crazy thing -- walk the perimeter of Ireland with a donkey -- not pleased about how he disposed of her when his trek was done though -- not very responsible of him -- although he did seek her out years later and make good the last chapter of her life. My main frustration was no pictures -- I wanted to see pictures of the places he went! He must have taken some -- Kevin, if you're out there, publish a companion book of the pictures you took along the way.
