Ann recalls her happy life as a child in Falcarragh on the north coast of Donegal, Ireland, and the shock of being transplanted into war-scarred inner-city Coventry where her family struggled with poverty, separation, their mother's poor health and father's drink problem.

In an effort to understand the cause of a mental health problem, Ann journeyed back through her childhood reflecting on her Irish roots and how emigration may have impacted on her ability to deal with stress.

The Road Taken explores the nature of emigration, the loss of homeland and its impact on personal identity.
