St. Patrick's Bed

Ashland #3

by Terence M. Green

"There's a line drawn across your life. You cross the line forever."

When Leo Nolan's father dies in 1995, his stepson, Adam, now twenty-one, finally asks the question that he has never asked, the question he could never ask. He asks it simply. "Is my father alive?"

St. Patrick's Bed, the sequel to the highly acclaimed, World Fantasy Award finalists Shadow of Ashland and A Witness to Life, revisits Leo's family, eleven years after the momentous visit to Ashland, Kentucky.

Thus begins this new odyssey to Dayton, Ohio, to the past, accompanied by family ghosts and the hard truths of the present. Leo's quest is both simple and the need in the human heart for redemption, resolution and homecoming.

I am a fan of the Ashland series. Each book is "charming".

If you’re going to read them…get all of them from your library. You won’t want to stop. Just a great story. Wish there were more in the series.

[Linda Godsoe Ewart]

Enjoyed the whole trilogy....each book is a complete and perfect little gem. Terence M Green is called a 'fantasy' writer.....and elements of these books, are fantasy in a sense.
All I can say is READ them. They are wonderful!
