Relentless
Relentless tells the story of the rise of Cork ladies football between 2005 and 2016. Having never won a senior title in the sport in 2004, by 2016 the team had won ten All-Ireland titles in eleven years. Mary White takes the reader behind the scenes and shows what made the Cork ladies footballers one of the most successful teams ever in the history of Irish sport. The book was shortlisted for the 2015 Setanta Ireland Sports Book of the Year. This edition contains a new afterword from the author, bringing the story up to the present day. 'It would have been disastrous if the best team in Irish sport had passed into history without their story being told. Luckily for them and for us, Mary White was there taking notes right from the beginning and can give an outsider's view with an insider's knowledge. It's not often that happens. A great insight into a truly great team.' – Malachy Clerkin, The Irish Times

Mary White from Ramsbottom
MARY WHITE FROM RAMSBOTTOMMary White was raised in an industrial region of the North of England that had thrived due to a concentration of activity in the fabric industries, but was in decline in the first half of the twentieth century. In this book, she describes her family history and gives an indication of life in industrial small towns. She had left the north for the more prosperous south of England, and in time brought her siblings to the south following the death of her parents. She describes how a single woman was able to purchase a house in a male-dominated society. The book demonstrates that a father's insistence on education improved the prospects of his children. It is illustrated with a number of pictures of the White family members.
Under the Walnut Trees
I was eleven years old. I could drive a tractor, I could milk a cow and I could drench a sheep but I had never been to a shop on my own and purchased anything. Well, that's how things turn out if you grow up in Deepest Devon and your only mode of transport is a 1930s Fordson spade-lug tractor.
