UK, October 14th 2025 – Author David G. Kidd releases Of Little Consequence, a heartfelt memoir that blends humor, honesty, and history into a captivating account of one man’s journey through the joys and challenges of life.
Born in 1946 in rural County Wexford, Ireland, David recounts his upbringing on a working farm in the post-war years, where family, faith, and community shaped his early world. Through vivid storytelling, he paints a portrait of a childhood filled with both hardship and laughter: bottle-feeding orphaned lambs, mischievous adventures at school, and the warmth of a close-knit family that instilled resilience and perseverance.
The memoir delves into his experiences at a strict Dublin boarding school, where discipline, camaraderie, and youthful rebellion left lasting impressions. David also reflects on his aspirations of a military career, the excitement and trials of travel abroad, and the bittersweet realities of love, loss, and starting over. Each chapter offers a slice of life rich with personal anecdotes, cultural insight, and a touch of Irish wit.
More than just a personal story, Of Little Consequence captures the essence of an era in Irish and British history, framed by social change, shifting traditions, and the enduring bonds of family. David’s reflections on identity, belonging, and resilience will resonate with readers from all walks of life, especially those who value memoirs that explore how ordinary lives are woven into the larger fabric of history.
What makes Of Little Consequence especially engaging is David’s willingness to share not only moments of triumph, but also moments of vulnerability and loss. His candid voice invites readers to step into his world — to sit at the farmhouse table, to join in a game of hurling in the fields, to experience the laughter and heartbreak of a family making its way through changing times.
In his words, the book is not about grand achievements or fame, but about the “little things” that shape a life — memories that, though seemingly small, carry deep meaning and lasting influence. The memoir is both a personal testament and a reminder that no life is ever truly of little consequence.
