Description
Robert Shannon, a Marine chaplain struggling to overcome the trauma of war, embarks on a journey to Ireland in search of his family roots. His mentor hopes that this trip will restore his equilibrium and vocation, but Robert's past holds secrets that could put him in grave danger. In 1922, Ireland is torn apart by civil war, and Robert must navigate its complexities while facing the threat of silence over a dark secret from his past. As he delves into the nation's myths and traditions, the River Shannon becomes a source of comfort and inspiration. A powerful exploration of identity, faith, and redemption, this novel follows Robert's journey as he searches for his soul and finds healing in the unlikeliest of places.
