Ireland in the late 1800’s was a time when girls were still traded for livestock or money for their hands in marriage. Grace and her sister, Rebecca, found themselves in their mid-teens and being married off. They’d leave their strict home with a cruel father and a mother who was no help in protecting them. While Rebecca was taken by an older widow man with many children who needed a wife hastily, Grace was sought after by a young man, a few years older than she. Jacob came with the livestock Grace’s father had called for and found himself a bride. The couple were innocents in the ways of love and marriage. Book 1 of The Irish Bride Series brings you into a time and place where young people wed and started lives for themselves with little to no guidance. Start the journey which will lead you through the legacy Grace created for her family. less
