In this collection of seductive and lyrically haunting stories of life and loss and redemption, you will find golden threads of lore and superstition, of magic, myth and serendipity. In the midst of their everyday lives, the
characters encounter the unexpected and the supernatural.
Visit nineteenth century Ireland to travel across mist-veiled moors, ride the surly sea, enter poor stone cottages, walk the sooty, cobbled streets of Dublin and even make your way across the sea to the Grand Promise that was America.
“In this singular gem of a book the master story-teller’s long perfected craft reaches a glory and grace that utterly ‘charms’, in all senses of that word.”
...Ann Cowart Lutzky, award winning author of “Those Beautiful Eyes”
“In this collection, Sieglinde de Francesca weaves the ordinary and the magical into a tapestry of lovely and enchanting stories. These tales carry the cadence of the oral tradition - sit by the fire, read them aloud, and be transported to realms of enchantment.”
...Mary Gomes, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology/Mythology
