Ghost - A Fotish Childhood (Episode 2)
About this episode
The episode explores the loving yet challenging childhood of the Collins family in Fotish, highlighting the impact of health issues and family support.
Despite early tragedy and straitened circumstances, the Collins family enjoy a loving and stable childhood in the townland of Fotish, near Crossmolina. They may have little in the way of material wealth, but the six children are doted on by their parents, and two aunts, Bridie and Ann. However, when Ann develops a painful degenerative condition, and her marriage breaks up, one of the Collins children is expected to go stay with her. In the end it’s Sandra who moves in. It’s supposed to be for just a few weeks, but turns into months, and then years. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
