If you were to ask any children of any politician, when you've been part of a political life, you are not on the sidelines.

I traveled to Ireland to research 'Sandcastles,' to visit the coastline where my ancestors looked toward America, the tiny town they once loved so much, and the docks from which they sailed toward their dreams of building a better life for their family.
