"The Cloths Of Heaven" takes the reader through much of Sheila's life, from childhood to adulthood. It tells of her losses and her victories and teaches a grand lesson about what it really means to be alive. Sheila's determination to overcome her disability is an inspiration to one and all. Geraldine Nesbitt has given us all a wonderful book for which we should all be thankful. What a great story!

Beautifully written and utterly engaging, The Cloths of Heaven is a tale of the struggles of growing up and the quest for truth. Geraldine Nesbitt has managed to weave a beautiful tapestry that is worthy to be called The Cloths of Heaven.

With deep empathy and skill, Nesbitt has created a narrator for whom we are able to acknowledge through our minds and thoughts what through our eyes and experience we may not have been able to, granting through the "read" word the spectrum of human emotion to this young woman.

A poignant tale of life in a small, Irish town in the 70's, Geraldine Nesbitt's book is touching and, at times, heart rending. It is the story of wheel chair bound Sheila and her best friend Maud. Maud is everything that Sheila wishes she could be. Or is she? This is a story of role reversals where we learn that the weak and totally dependant girl in the wheel chair has strengths that we all wish we might possess, while the strong and beautiful ones may not be as enviable as we would first think.
