With little money to his name and in need of help, Joseph follows his new friend to Manchester, where he falls in with a crowd of Irish nationalists, eager to make a stir. Soon, he will find his life spiraling out of control, and Joseph will have to decide which is more his loyalty to the cause or his own moral code.

But as Maura digs deeper, she finds herself not just fighting for her family’s future, but for her own life.THE GARDEN OF IRELAND is the second novel in a new series by the #1 Amazon bestselling author of WHITE ROSE, BLACK FOREST, and THE MAUREEN RITTER series, set in Ireland in the 19th century.
