"My Irish Heart": Glenn Cashion Author Visit In-Person
Presented by Glenn Cashion, Author
Join us for an in-person author visit from the author of My Irish heart : an autobiography lovingly dedicated to my Irish ancestors
My Irish Heart is Glenn Cashion’s heartfelt tribute to family, faith, and the Irish spirit that flows through generations. From the green fields of County Kildare to the streets of Freehold, New Jersey, this is the story of Irish immigrants who dared to cross an ocean and build new lives during the Great Famine. Through candid reflections on baseball dreams, Marine Corps service, and ventures across Ukraine and Saudi Arabia, Cashion paints a life shaped by Catholic school values, the father he never knew, and a love story with his wife, Karen, that has endured more than five decades. He recounts triumph and struggle — including his path to sobriety — while celebrating the bonds of family and the enduring power of home.
