Pilfering food for her sickly máthair, Aisling O'Quinn wanders amidst the filth-ridden cobbled streets of Five Points, Manhattan. A matron of the Children's Aid Society catches her and considers it her civic duty to force the twelve-year-old onto an orphan train to a "better life". Though Five Points is a notorious slum, with its rag-picker alleys and bandit haunts, she desperately misses the one-room tenement at the bend on Mulberry Street that overflowed with love and laughter. On the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg, as Northern and Southern military troops are gathering, Aisling O'Quinn musters the courage to escape the dreadful farm where she lives. Not even the fear of capture as a runaway fades her intense longing to reunite with her máthair. Can Aisling overcome the influence of her disastrous past? Is she strong enough to take control of the drastic changes and unfortunate circumstances she is about to face? Will her unresolved memories cripple her?
Castles are built one stone at a time…an Irish proverb Hawthorn Village Ireland 1840 Miss Natty took a short-cut through the woods and walked into a disaster. Undernourished children stood over their dying mother. The husband soothed a crying infant. Natty took the baby and said she’d fetch bread and milk for the others. When she returned to the woods, the peddler’s wagon was gone. Sir Finbarr O’Bannon is not rebuilding Ashcourt Manor in his mother’s memory – he’s rebuilding it to heal his heart. Then with a clear conscience, he intends to sell the manor and walk away from his past. He will return to Swansea, Wales, and his copper mines where he’s built an honorable and respected life. Miss Brianna Walsh has painted likenesses of Ashcourt Manor through the years. She embellishes the canvas with flowers in the field, or a grinning elfin face peeking out a window in an effort to ease the feeling of rejection that lurks in the shadows of her mind. Because like her, Ashcourt has been abandoned. She secretly struggles with insecurity arresting notions of a traditional future.
