β¦ Synopsis
βMartin Toppy is the son of a famous Traveller and the father of my unborn child. Heβs seventeen, Iβm thirty-three. I was his teacher. Iβd have killed myself by now if I was brave enough. I donβt think it would hurt the baby. His little heart would stop with mine. He wouldnβt feel himself leaving one world of darkness for another, his spirit untangling itself from me.β Melody Shee is alone and in trouble. Her husband doesnβt take her news too well. She doesnβt want to tell her father yet because heβs a good man and this could break him. Sheβs trying to stay in the moment, but the future is looming β larger by the day β while the past wonβt let her go. What she did to Breedie Flynn all those years ago still haunts her. Itβs a good thing that she meets Mary Crothery when she does. Mary is a young Traveller woman, and she knows more about Melody than she lets on. She might just save Melodyβs life. Donal Ryanβs new novel is breathtaking, vivid, moving and redemptive
