About the author

I love all things Irish, the language, a good cup of tea, soda bread, stew, smoked salmon, banoffee pie, green hills, happy cows, chedder cheese,... and all things Southern, sweet iced tea, southern hospitality, everything written by Anne Rivers Siddons and Johanna Trollope, blazing sunsets, driving through hot desert nights with the windows open, coffee and conversation with good friends, Katherine Hepburn movies, dessert, intimate gatherings and bright breezy days.

I live in Southern California during the winter months where I teach school to remarkably well-behaved 6th graders. During the summer months I live in County Kerry, Ireland where I take long walks, listen to traditional music, sigh over gray skies and write, write, write.

good book

[Keisha · Rating 1 out of 5]

ok. I bought this book because ı love stories set around horse farms and horses, which this book has. I liked the parts dealing with the horses, horse auctions, and the conversations. however, I found the characters dull and the book moved slowly. The last few chapters were truly the most enjoyable and I am glad I hung in there. BUT I will never reread this book. ☆

Was a good book. Learned a lot about horses I didn't know! Loved the Irish references.
