Winds of Change

Ireland, 2020. As Garrett traces his family history, he discovers that some secrets just can’t be kept.

Ireland, 1880s. Can three children stay friends when their families are enemies?

Clara, who lives in the Big House, finds unlikely friends in Aidan, the son of a tenant farmer, and Molly, the daughter of a Royal Irish Constabulary sergeant. They are from such different worlds, but with so much in common. The Land War rages fiercely all around them, with tenant farmers fighting back against the injustices of landlords, and the three friends are forced to make some hard choices … Garrett uncovers a story of loyalty at a time when the face of Ireland was changing forever.
