Kimberly Cates captures readers' hearts and imaginations with her "richly detailed" (New York Daily News) romantic fiction. Now, in her first contemporary novel, she raises her storytelling powers to new heights as she celebrates the special magic that is Ireland's gift to the world -- and explores the everlasting bonds of family, friendship, and love.
Eve Danaher's eye for beauty has earned her renown in the fine-art community. But for all her success, her life feels empty without the love of her estranged eighteen-year-old daughter. Determined to discover the peace and happiness that has been missing in her life, Eve books a trip to rural Ireland. There she meets Michael Halloren, a handsome horse trainer who introduces her to the troubled children he cares for at Glennamura Farm.
For years Eve has buried her emotions, but in the healing beauty of the Irish valley she opens herself to the warmth and compassion that surrounds her. And as Michael Halloren teaches her how powerful love can be, she becomes ever more determined to find her way back -- into her daughter's heart, and to the life she knows is her destiny.
