ABOUT THE BOOK
When Saoirse Fagan arrives to start her new job as housemaid at Drumboe Castle, she is dismayed to learn that the lord of the house passed away a week prior. Already running away from the tragedy that claimed the lives of her family members, Saoirse wanders the road with nowhere to go until Aileen McCready offers her a lift and possibly a place to stay for the night.
Sheep farmer and weaver Owen McCready is known for his intricate and impeccably woven tweed. But when he's injured in an attack by bandits, his entire livelihood is endangered. A new--and distracting--mouth to feed adds fuel to the fire, and Owen struggles to keep his family afloat. Though Saoirse is eager to help, even offering to learn the weaving craft, Owen is hesitant to accept aid from this strange young woman, no matter how inexplicably magnetic he finds her.
But Saoirse is not one to give up easily. It may take extra effort on her part, but she's determined to convince the McCreadys that they need her--perhaps as much as she needs them.

REVIEW
This story was so touching and simple and absolutely amazing. Magical. Jennifer brings Ireland to life in such a way that I can feel the difficulty of the characters and see the vivid landscapes. The heartbreaking decisions they all have to make is a reminder of all the good things God has given me. God’s story of never leaving us and using our hardships for good is woven throughout this entire story. I loved all the characters and my heart just broke for what Saoirse went through, and cheered for her and Owen the entire way through.
