This is the story of Mary Margaret Kathleen Kelly O'Reilly, a young
Pagan Catholic born with a veil (second sight) in Dingle, Ireland
in 1798. This romantic historical tale begins in an Ireland still
under British rule, with the oppression of Roman Catholics, and
great bitterness among the Irish people, who desire most of all
freedom from the British Crown. Our heroine's life has many twists
and turns, numerous triumphs and tragedies. At a young age, Maggie
finds herself torn between her passion for her young smuggler and a
handsome soldier of the Crown. The story is rich in the history and
drama of the 1800s in Ireland, Europe and America between 1798 and
1871. "The Irish hold a special place in the formation of America.
They crossed the Atlantic with a passion for living to make a
difference in their new world. Such is story of Mary Margaret
Kathleen Kelly O'Reilly, born with special powers to see beyond
what others might see. She lived her life fully with conviction and
knowledge of what wonders lay ahead. Her story evolves from
immigrant struggles, to seeking justice for slaves and women, while
raising a family full of tragedy, love, laughter and humility. It's
the story of America and the people who made this country great."
