About

Mary O Brien

Mary O’Brien lives in Omagh Co. Tyrone, but grew up on the family farm outside Fivemiletown where her horrific accident occurred in September 1942.

 

Her disability presented many challenges and obstacles but these were just something Mary had to overcome and in doing so became more resilient as the years advanced.

 

Mary now admits that the task her grandchildren set her – that of writing her memoir – has been one of the toughest challenges she has faced.

 

However, she took up her pencil and after five years of writing and rewriting, her story is now told.
