They were often to be found hidden away in quiet villages or cemeteries, their purpose almost forgotten. But, as he journeyed round Ireland, he met those who recalled the stories of the stones, and the legends attached to them. Soon, others were joining him as he took on the challenge of lifting these pieces of history, the heaviest of which weighed well over 450 pounds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Keohan’s efforts gathered more and more attention, he came to realize that this was more than a personal challenge. Stonelifting had become a way for Irish people to reclaim their lost heritage and to come together to celebrate what made their homeland special.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wind Beneath the Stone\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspirational story of hope, togetherness, and community, revealing how a simple challenge can take on a life of its own told through the natural beauty of the Irish landscape.","brand":"Chelsea Green","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48294038864127,"sku":"9781645024897","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781645024897_s600x595.jpg?v=1779819681","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781645024897","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
