Truly enjoyed this book. It is one in a series of 4 and I am excited to begin the second. Don't miss reading the prologue as it is essential to the storyline.
The rich irish heritage and history is fascinating and the characters are engaging.

Wow! The Thoene's do it again! They certainly did deliver. They gave a good overview of some of Ireland's torrid history and gave a face to the revolutions of old. Along the way, we follow one family's fight to live amongst this corrupt system that kept them enslaved to the English for years, much like America's sharecroppers were.

Well done! Easy read, great story!
