Now & Then: Kennebec Large Print Superior Collection

In this stunning new novel from the "New York Times"-bestselling author of "Lost & Found" comes a touching portrait of a woman struggling to reconnect with her family.

Living a dog's life...now and then
Anna O'Shea has failed at marriage, shed her job at a law firm, and she's trying to re-create herself when she and her recalcitrant nephew are summoned to the past in a manner that nearly destroys them. Her twenty-first-century skills pale as she struggles to find her nephew in nineteenth-century Ireland. For one of them, the past is brutally difficult, filled with hunger and struggle. For the other, the past is filled with privilege, status, and a reprieve from the crushing pain of present-day life. For both Anna and her nephew, the past offers them a chance at love.
Will every choice they make reverberate down through time? And do Irish Wolfhounds carry the soul of the ancient celts?
The past and present wrap around finely wrought characters who reveal the road home. Mystical, charming, and fantastic, New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Sheehan's Now & Then is a poignant and beautiful tale of a remarkable journey. It is a miraculous evocation of a breathtaking place in a volatile age filled with rich, unforgettable, deeply human characters and one unforgettable dog named Madigan.

“Sheehan vividly depicts Irish-British conflicts as Anna becomes involved with an Irish smuggler’s group...Equally compelling is Joe’s experience as a wrestling champ and his romance with Taleen. Throw in loyal Irish wolfhound Madigan, and you’ve got an altogether enjoyable romantic adventure yarn with a heavy helping of magic.” — Publishers Weekly
“Now & Then is certainly different from what I normally read but different in a good way. The descriptions of nineteenth century Ireland are vivid, the people are believable, and I was totally caught up in their experiences.” — DearAuthor
