               new book “Lightening” while M chats with the woman who sits

               between us.  She is American but lives in Ireland to raise her

               kids.  She says they spent summers in the U.S.  Her husband

               healed of MS in a church and was now speaking about it to

               groups.  She hopes to bring her to America.  She says it

               happened in Knock and the Pub song came to mind about

               “…the miracle down at Knock”.
