Every so often, we work on a book that reminds us why we invest such care and effort into producing books of exceptional quality. One such book was Ollie and Me by award-winning author Annette Bryan.
Ollie and Me follows Ollie, a talented 26-year-old GAA player whose dream of playing for Dublin ends abruptly when sudden kidney failure turns his life upside down. With the devoted support of his partner, Sam, Ollie confronts the frightening reality of chronic illness while fighting to rebuild his future. The book captures the emotional journey of illness, recovery, and renewed purpose.
The book was launched at Ballyroan Library, Rathfarnham, on 3 December, from 5 pm to 8 pm. The event featured two distinguished guest speakers: legendary broadcaster and journalist Joe Duffy, and Cllr Pamela Kearns, Mayor of South Dublin County Council. Their participation highlighted the importance of Ollie and Me and underscored how urgent and widespread the issue of organ donation is for families across Ireland.
Ollie and Me is a beautifully written story about one family’s experience of hope, waiting, and renewal. It will be an invaluable read for anyone whose life has been touched by organ donation or chronic illness.
