This is an interesting book that fulfills the reader's desire for a compelling story. Saoirse is basically homeless but finds a friend in Aileen McCready. For a few days, Aileen hid Saoirse from her brother, Owen. When he found her, he offered to let her stay until she could find another job. When Owen is injured in a fight with a man who tries to steal his sheep, Saoirse learned his weaving and works hard to fulfill the orders he has for his tweed.
This is a seriously rewarding novel to read. The townspeople readily accept Saoirse and she slowly works her way into Owen's good graces. Jennifer Deibel writes with a true talent for the craft. I love reading her books and this one just added an extra oomph to my reading. My only criticism is that the bad guys never get caught or even pursued for the most part of the book. Other than that, it's a really good book. The romance in the book is not overt or smarmy. It's a day to day look at the life of someone down on her luck who happens to land on her feet.
One of my friends told me I just like books with happy endings and my friend is not wrong. This is the best kind of book to fit that bill.
Four Strong Stars.
