Synopsis

When Saoirse Fagan arrives to start her new job as housemaid at Drumboe Castle, she is dismayed to learn that the lord of the house passed away a week prior.

Already running away from the tragedy that claimed the lives of her family members, Saoirse wanders the road with nowhere to go until Aileen McCready offers her a lift and possibly a place to stay for the night.

Sheep farmer and weaver Owen McCready is known for his intricate and impeccably woven tweed. But when he's injured in an attack by bandits, his entire livelihood is endangered. A new—and distracting—mouth to feed adds fuel to the fire, and Owen struggles to keep his family afloat. Though Saoirse is eager to help, even offering to learn the weaving craft, Owen is hesitant to accept aid from this strange young woman, no matter how inexplicably magnetic he finds her.

But Saoirse is not one to give up easily. It may take extra effort on her part, but she's determined to convince the McCreadys that they need her—perhaps as much as she needs them.

"Jennifer Deibel is an amazing writer and storyteller. She weaves a tale of love and forgiveness that's as beautiful as the cloth she describes. I was touched by the main characters' journeys to forgiveness and overcoming adversity, and I encourage readers to give Heart of the Glen a try."—Tracie Peterson, bestselling, award-winning author of over 140 books, including The Heart of Cheyenne and the Pictures of the Heart series

Goodreads review by Charity on January 13, 2025

This story starts with Saoirse (incidentally, you pronounce that as seer-sha, which is definitely NOT the mess I was saying in my mind!) who gets dropped off to serve in a mansion that is completely closed up. No one's there, and her ride already left. She wanders the countryside and is then picked......more

Owen & Saoirse This book is the definition of faith filled! Oh, it’s sooo good!! Saoirse, on the run from her past faces obstacle after obstacle. To the point where she believes that she’s the cause of it all. And who can’t relate to that? We all have those moments where we believe we’re to blame. S......more
