The woman she almost was

How many times have you reflected on the crossroads of your life? How many times have you looked back and seen the path you took—and the paths you could have taken instead? Anytime Aisling picks up a fiddle, that's what she sees. In Home Sweet Road, we meet her as this person with a secret purpose. But she nearly wasn't that person at all. She as nearly someone else completely. Earlier in her life, she ran away from all that—for reasons that I will be getting into down the line. From a young age, Aisling loved to play the violin. As a child she resolved that she would grow up to make her living and her life from her music. She traveled the world, rejecting the destiny that was supposed to be before her, because she wanted to make a different choice about her life. Yet she came back. Now, she doesn't make a living as a musician. She plays her fiddle regularly at the local pub. And every time she does, she has to stand at that crossroads again. Between what she thought she was going to be—and who she is instead.
