A Far Gone Night

Reeling from the unexpected death of her son, Margaret Ryan struggles to rebuild her life. Divorced and at odds with her older sister, she does little more than sit in the cemetery where her son is buried and write letters to him in her journal. While cleaning out her parents' house before putting it on the market, she discovers letters written in the late 1800s to her great-great-grandmother, for whom she is a namesake. She goes to Ireland with a plan to write about her family history. The magic of Ireland, however, has other ideas, and Margaret discovers that the only thing harder than holding on to the past is...letting it go.

The day before, I had rushed my husband Jim to the hospital…Ironically, at the time, I was putting the finishing touches on a book I had written about dealing with the challenges of getting older. The book, Uncharted Journey, discusses loss, letting go, and growth. Little did I know I was about to embark on my own personal uncharted journey.This is the emotional chronicle of the first year of that journey, a year that will forever be sacred.

He’d promised Sheriff Payne that he wouldn’t take any more matters into his own hands. So, when on a leisurely morning drive, SEAL-trained Thomas O’Shea sees two girls attacking a boy on a sidewalk, he opts not to intervene. When the boy is later murdered in the local hospital, though, all promises are off. What seems at the start to be a simple case of gang activity turns out to be far more. Even O’Shea, who has seen more than his share of evil, could not have guessed what is about to transpire…
