A member of west Waterford’s Ango Irish ascendancy, Nicola Beresford Minihan, lost her home and another property due to the machinations of Catherine O’Brien, the woman she believed was like a daughter to her.
As Nicola tells her story, immerse yourself in how her life evolved from growing up in the sprawling Woodhouse estate on the outskirts of coastal Stradbally to living her later years in rented accommodation, thanks to her friendship and business forays with Catherine. See how their relationship developed from Nicola’s role as child minder to one of Catherine’s children, to becoming a director in some of her businesses, to mortgaging her home to help her build up a business.
Discover too the kindnesses that were scattered here and there. There was the fairytale holiday which still brings a smile to Nicola’s face despite the pain and hardships that resulted from meeting the chameleon that is Catherine O’Brien.
But through it all, the one question on Nicola’s lips is why nobody told her of the danger of getting involved with Catherine O’Brien.
