From the Back Cover
"A beautifully-crafted story reminiscent of the best Mary Gordon or John McGahern or Claire Keegan. She s got heart and subtlety all at once." Colum McCann, author of Let the Great World Spin


Greta Cahill never believed she would leave her village in the west of Ireland until she found herself on a ship bound for New York. Once landed America, Greta falls in love, raises her own family, and earns her own living.

She longs to return to Ireland, to show her family what she has made of herself, but a secret in her past forces her to keep her life in New York separate and tears her from the people she holds closest. Even fifty years later, when the Ireland of her memory bears little resemblance to that of the present day, she fears she will lose everything she has made for herself when she discovers that her children with the best of intentions have conspired to unite the worlds she s so carefully kept apart.

"Thoughtful and appealing . . . a solid, intelligent piece of work." Washington Post

"There can be no doubt that [Keane's] voice will only strengthen and dazzle with each new book." Irish Voice
