When the doctor joins the army for Ireland’s independence, Anne cannot explain why she is so distraught. The doctor unwittingly assumes that Anne is the mother who had abandoned the boy, and Anne, unsure what to do with herself at the wrong time in history, assumes the mom’s identity. Under the care of a gentle doctor, she finds herself drawn to the small boy that the doctor takes care of. With no clue how it happens, Anne finds herself in 1921 in Ireland. She travels to Ireland to spread his ashes while consumed with grief, but she was not prepared for the way that her grandfather’s stories would live on in her memory, or in her real life. Anne grew up hearing her grandfather’s stories of his Irish home, and now that he has died, she finally gets to see it with her own eyes.

Grief, love, and war are all prominent themes in this best-selling and most popular novel from celebrated author Amy Harmon.
