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.
New author Jennifer Deibel swept me away in this fiction novel set in Ireland. I love a story that transports–and this one did that in spades.
To say this story had a beautiful love story with an amazing message behind it, probably isn’t enough. These characters are ones that I will most definitely have to go back and read about again. And the setting was just remarkable.
If you enjoy a clean Christian story every now and then that really isn’t too preachy–with a romantic story to boot–I suggest you pick this one up. It was refreshing and exactly what I needed.
