It is the final summer of Collie's innocence when an ill-fated
romance forces her into maturity. Fast approaching the age of
adulthood under the king's law, Collie, the beautiful, eldest
daughter of a Middletown tinker, sets her sights upon a handsome
young fisherman named Dugan, the troubled son of an unscrupulous
man from the lower-class village of Ganty. A tumultuous love affair
soon ensues as they attempt to cross the lines of class
segregation, bigotry, and religious differences amid their own
internal conflicts. Collie clings to her dreams of grandeur--- a
life of unfettered leisure, travel, and excitement, for she fears
to end up like her mother, tied to a kitchen and a house full of
children. The rebellion against her mother and her way of life is a
constant source of contention between them as she doggedly pursues
Dugan, shunning the affections of the blacksmith, Arrick, a more
proper, acceptable suitor, favored by Collie's parents. Down in
Ganty, there are two dangerous men of power---a pub master named
Barrtel, and Dugan's father, Harlo, cordial enemies that tolerate
one another in an uneasy truce. Dugan spends a great deal of time
drinking at Barrtel's pub in an effort to escape some of the
unspeakable horrors he has been involved with at the hands of his
father. As Collie resists becoming her mother, Dugan resists
becoming his father while the two young lovers struggle in their
rocky, forbidden relationship, and Collie slowly begins to unravel
the mystery of a secret past involving Harlo and her own parents.
Set in the mythical realm of Donnel by the sea in the rising spread
of Christianity, Hope Flies on Broken Wings delves into two
adolescent minds and their individual, personal struggles that draw
them together while pushing them apart---two souls seeking
redemption, each with a completely different life view of what
constitutes hell on earth in this poignant tale of love and loss.
