That quest continues with her new children’s book, “A Message in the Moon,” a deeply personal project predicated on her childhood. While recently telling CBN News about the effort, Downey, who was born in Ireland and later immigrated to the U.S., also talked about her love of prayer and gratitude for America.
“They say, ‘You can take the girl out of Ireland, but you can’t take Ireland out of the girl,’” she said. “And I think that’s true, but I love America, and America has been so good to me.”
Downey continued, “I’m so incredibly grateful to this country. My children are all American-born and my husband and I are both American citizens. We make our home between Southern California and the great state of Utah.”
This isn’t the first time the actress has addressed her love for America.
