Anne Gallagher grew up
enchanted by her grandfather’s stories of Ireland. Heartbroken at his
death, she travels to his childhood home to spread his ashes. There,
overcome with memories of the man she adored and consumed by a history
she never knew, she is pulled into another time.The Ireland of 1921, teetering on the edge of war, is a dangerous place in which to awaken. But there Anne finds herself, hurt, disoriented, and under the care of Dr. Thomas Smith, guardian to a young boy who is oddly familiar. Mistaken for the boy’s long-missing mother, Anne adopts her identity, convinced the woman’s disappearance is connected to her own.
As tensions rise, Thomas joins the struggle for Ireland’s independence and Anne is drawn into the conflict beside him. Caught between history and her heart, she must decide whether she’s willing to let go of the life she knew for a love she never thought she’d find. But in the end, is the choice actually hers to make?
Opening line:
""Grandfather, tell me about your mother.""
What a crazy ride into Irish history! Told from a time-traveler who's slipped into her early ancestor's lives.
I'm not sure I loved the ending.
