It’s the early 20th century in Ireland, and everything Saoirse Fagan touches seems to turn to ash, which reminds her of the house fire that killed her family. When circumstances leave her stranded in the wilderness of County Donegal without a position, it seems like more misfortune raining down. Generations removed from the Irish potato famine, siblings Aileen and Owen McCready can barely protect their family farm from bandits, but they still agree to take in the downtrodden Saoirse. When tragedy strikes the village, the priest issues a challenge to search for God’s plan even amid suffering. The siblings and their guest must all decide which battles are most important to fight.
VERDICT With perfectly paced and realistic romance, Deibel (The Irish Matchmaker) delivers another book that will leave readers feeling like they have traveled to historic Ireland right from their living rooms. Both a romantic comedy and a thought-provoking Christian read, Deibel’s latest will appeal to fans of Calling on the Matchmaker by Jody Hedlund and A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer.
