Galway Bay to the Irish Diaspora: The Real History Behind Our Fallen Woman

Join me on the shores of Galway Bay, where beauty and hardship have always lived side by side.

This coastline once fed families through shellfish gathered by hand, through cold mornings and harder choices. It is here that the world behind Our Fallen Woman begins — not as fiction, but as lived reality. Alongside the novel, I’ve been developing a live-action and GenAI-driven documentary series that goes deeper into the real Irish history that shaped Erin Kelly’s story. The places. The poverty. The resilience. The women history rarely paused to remember.

This is not a retelling of the book. It is a companion journey — one that steps into the landscapes, the social divides, and the quiet courage that defined generations of Irish women. From the shores of Ireland to the wider Irish diaspora, this is history felt, seen, and remembered — long after the page ends.
