Beautiful!!!

















A Dance in Donegal

By Jennifer Deibel


This is the first book that I have read that is written by Jennifer Deibel, but I have to say this was a delight to read. Jennifer creates a story that is so beautiful that takes you to the Emerald Isle. 

Ever since she was a little girl, Moira Doherty has cherished the stories her mother told about her home land. But when the loss of her dear mother hit home, Moira starts thinking of them again. Her mothers dying wish is that she goes to Ballymann to teach as a schoolteacher. After a long journey from Britain to Donegal, Ireland; Moira arises to the challenge of teaching the local children.


Her arrival in the village is met with some bitterness from as of the villagers, while others are filled with superstitions. Rumors float around about her mother that cause Moira to be concerned about her mothers past. But when one of the school kids fall ill, Moira rises to the challenge and cares for the youngster. With the help of a very kind older couple and a very handsome thatcher Sean she navigates the new and strange land. But when tragedy hits, her life is turned upside down. Can Moira find her happiness that her mother was wanting her to find in her beloveds homeland?  Will she see the love that only God has for her? 

I received a free advance copy of this book from the publisher, I did not receive any compensation for this.   This is my personal and  honest review of the book.
