The competition is judged by experts from different aspects of the book industry, including publishers, writers, book cover designers and professional copywriters. Selected Award Winners and Distinguished Favorites are based on overall excellence.

An Irish Lullaby depicts humanties’ search for relevancy and fulfillment, set against the backdrop one of the most controversial, moral, and burning social/cultural issues of our time, abortion.

As Father O’Conner, an aging priest at Saint Aloysius Parish, contemplates his legacy, Anegla Sanchez, a troubled teen, sits in an abortion clinic awaiting her procedure. She is comforted by Aubrey Fitzgibbons, who is married to the church deacon but also serves as a leader in the local Planned Parenthood. More complications arise when Aubrey becomes pregnant, triggering a serious medical condition that threatens her life. Doctors recommend abortion, but something incredible is about to happen.
