Cluainmeala, in Gaelic, the town was called, which meant "honey meadow"-an apt name for a place with sweet-smelling air and rich blankets of lush, velvety green hills rolling softly across the horizon. To Elena, it looked like a fairyland as she spun, arms exuberantly outstretched. Fifty years ago, Ireland was rural, steeped in the music and legend that had characterized the island since Celtic rituals were replaced by Christianity. Searching for her family's roots while working on an exchange fellowship, a young woman falls in love for the first time. Is it with her heritage? Or something more? View another culture through windows of the recent past, before our world was quite so globally connected. Technology and attitudes were rapidly changing, but basic universal human values guided the transformation. The greatest of these is love. Painting a picture of Ireland as it was in the last century, this book continues the family saga begun in Roses in the Dust, award-winning author Sherri McCarthy's first historical romance.
