In the wake of the disastrous potato famine of 1845, Bridgette McKenna was forced to leave her home in county Donegal,Ireland, at the tender age of fourteen, and go to work on a Virginia plantation as a scullery maid.
Now four years older, Bridgette has a dream. The tiny, fiery-haired spitfire dreams of one day being reunited with her beloved father and six brothers and sisters-but this time on American soil. She also dreams of meeting and marrying a God-fearing man-one who would love her as her widowed father had loved her own mother.
When she meets tall, handsome Lance York, she begins to believe she may have met the man of her dreams...until she learns he is English, like the cruel landlord oppressing her family in Ireland.
But is there more to Lance than Bridgette realizes?
