The third book of this trilogy and was one of the better one of all of them. Loved the whole series.
I've dreamed of Ireland. Of a land where there was magic in the mists, dark, brooding mountains that held secrets, and green fields that rolled into forever. And that is what I found when I went there.
I've talked with many of my friends and family who have been to Ireland. Ivariably those roots that were transplated from that country in the past all felt a tug when they stepped onto Irish soil. I know I did. There was a recognition, a sense of knowing, even before you took the first breath, just what the air would taste like.
There's a beauty in the little village with its pub and crooked streets, in the bustle of cities like Galway, in the cliffs that tower over the ocean, and the fields sleeping under the mists. There are simple things, like the farmer leading his cows across the road, and the grand ones like the ruins of a castle standing centuries old beside the winding ribbon of river.
There are stone circles dancing in a farmer's filed, and fairy hills in the forests. And just as magical are the flowers blooming in the well-tended garden or the taste of fresh scones at tea time. Simple things, and grand ones. That's what I found in Ireland.
For Born In Shame, the last book of my Born In trilogy, I wanted to bring a woman, an American, to Ireland for the first time. To give Shannon Bodine her roots, her family, and a romance that would suit the contrasts and endurance of Ireland. To give to her that magic of simple and grand things.
She did a great job in putting these things into her trilogy. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
