Ireland, 1836. A red-haired girl shakes her fist at her father's retreating back and makes a vow: his weakness will not be hers. Born to a struggling tenant farmer in County Wicklow, Brigid Power will need every ounce of that stubborn courage to survive what comes next - the Great Famine that claims three of her brothers, a flight from an arranged marriage, and a plunge into the dangerous heart of Dublin's Fenian resistance. Twice widowed, once by disease, once by an assassin's bullet, Brigid refuses to be broken. From the cobblestones of Dublin to the building sites of Boston. From a whirlwind romance with a sea captain from Barbados to a shocking Caribbean revelation that rewrites everything she thought she knew about her own blood. And then a mysterious letter arrives. One that will unlock a secret buried for generations - and change Brigid's life forever. A transatlantic saga spanning five decades, three marriages, two continents, and one indomitable woman. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Lucinda Riley, Taylor Caldwell, and Ken Follett.
