Autor Cael O'Maolain
en Limba Engleză Paperback
A Certain Knowing is the adventurous and romantic saga of Logan Keohane, a Houston Firefighter who is kidnapped and left stranded, along with two young women, Amanda and Elizabeth Krause, on an isolated island in the middle of a dense Louisiana swamp. Believed killed in a horrendous auto accident, Logan and the girls are left to their own wiles to escape their frightening entrapment. Meanwhile, Morgan O'Malley, Logan's girlfriend and soul mate, awaits his return against overwhelming evidence of his demise, forever keeping faith in his quick return to her side. The story begins with Logan's near death experience at a fire scene. An experienced firefighter, Logan goes beyond his physical limits in an effort to extinguish a house fire. During this experience, he envisions a connection with an ancient part of himself. He is uncertain whether his visions are real or imagined. The son of Irish immigrants, Logan grew up traveling between America and Ireland. The fireman begins an in-depth research into his Irish heritage while recovering from his injuries. He has always been proud of his background and now strives to know as much as possible about his family history. He finds a deep connection with ancient Irish history, especially Celtic myth and ritual. His girlfriend, Morgan O'Malley, aids in his research. Logan's research also kindles a strong interest within Morgan of her Irish past. Upon his return to work, Logan finds extreme difficulty being at the fire station. He is reluctant to even enter the firehouse upon his arrival. After eventually coercing himself inside, the fireman searches his true desires to remain in his current profession. He dreams of Ireland and everything that represents to him. On Logan's second trip back to the fire station, he stops to aid a motorist who is broken down on the side of the highway. The fireman is ungraciously knocked unconscious, bound, gagged, blindfolded and stuffed into the back of his vehicle. He soon learns that he is not alone in his abduction. He will eventually discover that he has unwittingly stumbled onto the kidnapping of two young sisters for ransom, Amanda and Elizabeth Krause. The trio are transported by a wild Cajun fellow to a small island in the middle of a Louisiana swamp. They are left alone bound and blindfolded in a small cabin while the solo kidnaper leaves to retrieve his partner and make ransom demands. Driving Logan's vehicle through a horrendous rainstorm, the Cajun is involved in a fiery accident. His body is burned beyond recognition. Word of Logan's apparent demise returns to Morgan and his family. The fireman's parents are devastated. Morgan is initially heartbroken, however, she finds faith beyond all probability that her Lover is still alive and will return to her. She finds ways to deal with her grief and stress, wavering between fear and doubt to absolute certainty of Logan's return. The rest of the story is an adventure in faith, persistence, and physical action. Every character is forced to find who they really are and how they want life to unfold in the future. Isolation, in its many forms, creates an introspection that changes the very concepts of what is important in life. Join Logan, Amanda, and Elizabeth in their unexpected adventure of many lifetimes.
