In the spring of 1944, Southwick House is overtaken by the War Office, ending the family home’s auspicious five-hundred-year existence in preparation for Normandy landing forces. Its residents are forced to depart. Every person has a place, and now comes the time to find theirs.
Bronagh’s strict Irish Catholic upbringing has made her restless. She dreams of something else, longing for an escape that will show her everything life can be beyond what she knows. Her school’s mobile library gives her a taste of alternative life views and spiritual developments, but she needs more—to not only read others’ stories, but to discover all that you can learn from other people when you walk alongside them.
She’s looking for somewhere to belong, and if she wants to find it, she has to take a journey out of her home country and into the world.
Her move to London introduces the inquisitive Bronagh to the reclusive Finn, sweeping them both into romance, adventure, and mystery. As they travel together, Bronagh begins to deal with supernatural forces neither she nor Finn are familiar with. Out-of-body experiences, strange atmospheres, ancient secrets…It all opens her eyes to the truth—of the world, of herself, of things she never before questioned.
Along the way, Bronagh and Finn continue to uncover history, meet new people, and face different kinds of danger in their search for answers, peace, and a home that can give them a future.
