"Deibel's descriptions of Ireland's landscape, enticing cuisine,
sonorous language, and vibrant culture converge to form a
spectacular background for the story."--BookPage starred review 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. "God's redemptive
love is the highlight of this debut work . . . Fans of historical
Christian romances in the vein of Kristi Ann Hunter and Jen Turano
will want to keep an eye on Deibel."--Library Journal "Deibel's
exemplarily executed debut is a touching tale of love and
forgiveness that also beautifully captures the warmth and magic of
1920s Ireland. The author's flair for vivid characterization is
especially striking in Moira, whose realistic struggles with her
faith give her memorable depth and relatability."--Booklist
