Description
From NetGalley.com:
All of her life,
Irish-American Moira Doherty has relished her mother's descriptions of Ireland.
When her mother dies unexpectedly in the summer of 1920, Moira decides to
fulfill her mother's wish that she become the teacher in Ballymann, her home
village in Donegal, Ireland.
After an arduous voyage, Moira arrives to a new home and a new job in an
ancient country. Though a few locals offer a warm welcome, others are distanced
by superstition and suspicion. Rumors about Moira's mother are unspoken in her
presence but threaten to derail everything she's journeyed to Ballymann to do.
Moira must rely on the kindness of a handful of friends--and the strength of
Sean, an unsettlingly handsome thatcher who keeps popping up unannounced--as
she seeks to navigate a life she'd never dreamed of . . . but perhaps was meant
to live.
Jennifer Deibel's debut novel delights the senses, bringing to life the sights,
sounds, smells, and language of a lush country and a colorful people.
Historical romance fans will embrace her with open arms.
