What the Wind Knows

Anne Gallagher grew up on her grandfather's stories of Ireland. When he dies, she is heartbroken, and she carries his ashes to the house where he spent his childhood. Standing there, flooded with memories of him and with a family history she never knew, she is pulled out of her own time.

She wakes in Ireland in 1921, a country close to open war. Anne is hurt and disoriented, and a physician named Dr. Thomas Smith takes her in. He is the guardian of a young boy who seems strangely familiar to her.

The household takes her for the boy's mother, who has been missing for a long time, and Anne goes along with it. She believes the woman's disappearance is tied to her own arrival.

This is a time-travel romance with historical fiction at its core. As tension builds around her, Thomas joins the fight for Irish independence, and Anne is drawn into the conflict at his side. The danger is real, and the setting is a country on the verge of violence.

Anne has to weigh the life she left behind against a love she never expected to find. Whether the decision is hers to make at all remains the harder question.
