When Laine Forrester travels to France to attend her longtime friend's vineyard
wedding, she expects to find a bride on the brink of a fairy-tale life. But after a series
of unforeseen setbacks-a devastating diagnosis, a castle restoration put on hold, and
the emergence of deep-seated family dynamics that threaten to derail the new
couple's fledgling marriage-it seems the storybook life Laine had imagined for her
friend-and once, for herself-is suddenly crumbling before her eyes.
With hopes of resurrecting a happy ending for one of them, Laine throws support
behind her friend and agrees to accompany the couple to the groom's family home in
Ireland, where the merging of a mysterious inheritance, long-buried wounds, and a
fractured family set out to upend the trip from the start. It's in the unlikely corners of
a historic Dublin pub, and across the wide-open moors bordering Ireland's majestic
Wicklow Mountains, that Laine is slowly drawn in by the land and the people, sparking
hope for something she never imagined possible: the courage to heal. But with
secrets of her own-and a heart afraid to trust again-Laine must determine how much
she's willing to risk in mending the broken places within herself, and whether she
believes that even through the depths of our pain, a beautiful story can emerge.
Set in three time-periods-the revolutionary era of the late eighteenth century,
Ireland's turbulent Easter week of the 1916 Rising, and present day-Castle on the
Rise weaves a story of legacy, conviction, and redemption against the backdrop of
Dublin's storied streets, and the stretch of Ireland's stunning emerald shores. It raises
the question: given the choice between the fairy tale or a life of truly anchored
faith-which legacy would you choose?
