ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Patti Lacy graduated from Baylor University in 1977 with a B.S. in education. She taught at Heartland Community College in Normal, Illinois, until she retired in 2006 to pursue writing full time. She has two grown children with her husband, Alan, and lives in Illinois.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Far away from her Irish home, Mary Freeman begins to adapt to life in Midwest America, but family turmoil and her own haunting memories threaten to ruin her future. A shattered cup. Cheap tea. Bitter voices asking what's to be done with the "little eejit." Mary, an impetuous Irishwoman, won't face the haunting memories--until her daughter's crisis propels her back to County Clare. There, in a rocky cliffside home, Mary learns from former neighbors why God tore her from Ireland forty-five years earlier. As she begins to glimpse His sovereign plan, Mary is finally able to bury a dysfunctional past and begin to heal. Irish folk songs and sayings add color to the narrative.

This book was beyond a read. It was an immersion to discovery of your soul.
My review is set to post in the morning. I gave it "5 Cups of Coffee"!
Mines up! This was just too much of an emotional book for me. I couldn't deal with all that's going on in my life right now. :(
Sorry!
A little late, but it's up now!
The only reason I didn't sign up for this one is because I already had the book and interviewed Patti back in September. Awesome book!
So, I'm jumping on the tour. My post is up with a review and a link to my previous interview.
