THE YELLOW HOUSE delves into the passion and politics of Northern
Ireland at the beginning of the 20th Century. Eileen O'Neill's
family is torn apart by religious intolerance and secrets from the
past. Determined to reclaim her ancestral home and reunite her
family, Eileen begins working at the local mill, saving her money
and holding fast to her dream. As war is declared on a local and
global scale, Eileen cannot separate the politics from the very
personal impact the conflict has had on her own life.
She is soon torn between two men, each drawing her to one extreme.
One is a charismatic and passionate political activist determined
to win Irish independence from Great Britain at any cost, who
appeals to her warrior's soul. The other is the wealthy and
handsome black sheep of the pacifist family who owns the mill where
she works, and whose persistent attention becomes impossible for
her to ignore.
One journey will change their lives forever
__________________________________ To follow her dreams, she must
sacrifice everything... Sisters Nora and Delia have been given the
chance of a lifetime - to escape their poor Irish farm and travel
on the Titanic to a new life in America. Nora is to become a
treasured governess for a rich family, while Delia has only a lowly
maid's position. But when disaster strikes, and Nora dies, a small
misunderstanding leads to Delia taking Nora's place as governess.
As Delia grows closer to her charge, and the girl's father, will
she be able to reveal the truth to find a chance at happiness? And
what will happen when she finds out that Nora is actually alive,
and coming to take what is rightfully hers...?
