Description

“One is immersed in this epic story immediately and effortlessly… The main characters are so well-drawn that you feel you have heard about them in your own life.”

—The Evening Herald

After twenty years away, Jo Devereux flies home to Ireland for her mother’s funeral — the mother she hasn’t spoken to for more than two decades. 

Every minute there reminds her of all the reasons she left, and she has no desire to reacquaint herself with the old country. Or with Rory O’Donovan, her lost love. 

Then, she is bequeathed an inheritance of a chest full of letters and journals, written by her grandmother and great-aunt that shatter some long-suppressed secrets.

Who murdered her great-uncle in that bitter feud that turned friend to foe, and brother against sister, against sister? How did the ideals of the Easter Rising degenerate into such lies, secrets, and silence? 

In unearthing the bitter, buried history she shares with Rory, Jo finally understands why their young love was doomed from the start. But now, as they struggle to stay true to both heart and heritage, their loyalties are about to be tested as never before. 

Jo knows well from her own life what it takes to rebel… but what happens after the rising?
