A Promise Beyond the Sea (Irish Brides, Band 1) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

She's leaving everything she loves behind. He's already lost everything.

Katherine O’Brien’s life is everything she’s ever dreamed of. Soon, she’ll be a wife, and someday, a mother. But when the Great Famine strikes Ireland, hunger threatens to destroy everything she holds dear.

With her family starving, Katherine faces an impossible choice: accept payment to take her younger siblings to America and marry a man she’s never met—or remain in Ireland and risk watching the people she loves perish.
Leaving her beloved homeland may save her family, but it means saying goodbye to the life she once imagined.

Ronan Kelly has already lost everything. After burying his wife and three-year-old daughter, he has little reason to leave Ireland, the land he loves. He chooses to help Katherine and her siblings escape the famine, all the while keeping her at arm's length. He knows all too well the pain of loving someone only to lose them. But as they cross the ocean together, Katherine’s faith, courage, and selfless love begin to break through the walls around his wounded heart.

For Katherine, America offers a chance to build a new life. For Ronan, it offers a chance to love again.

But when tragedy strikes once more, Ronan must choose: remain chained to the fear of losing everything again—or trust God with the heart he has fought so hard to protect.
