Rylan Montgomery's sister, Maggie, leaves Ireland and travels to America to avoid an unwanted suitor and find her fortune. Arriving at the orphanage run by Rylan and his wife, Colleen, Maggie agrees to assist in the classroom. Her plans are threatened by the arrival of Neill Fitzgerald, who wants to take her back to Ireland and make her his wife—by force if necessary. Meanwhile, Adam O'Leary, Rylan's brother-in-law who's recently been released from prison, has returned home to a bittersweet reunion with his parents. He will do anything to be restored to his family's good graces, but falling in love with Maggie is an unexpected surprise.
VERDICT Fans of Irish Meadows will not be disappointed in this follow-up, which renders a skillful mix of tense family drama, historical romance, and memorable characters that will stay with readers.
