- fullDescription
- Twenty-six-year-old Katie Macauley has placed all her hope in Hope Springs, a small town in the 1870 Wyoming Territory. But if she wants to return home to Ireland to make amends with her estranged family, she'll need to convince the influential Joseph Archer to hold true to his word and keep her on his payroll as his housekeeper despite her Irish roots. The town is caught in an ongoing feud between the Irish and the "Reds" the frontiersmen who would rather see all the Irish run out of town and the Irish immigrants who are fighting to make a home for themselves in the New World. When Joseph agrees to keep Katie on as his housekeeper, the feud erupts anew, and Katie becomes the reluctant figurehead for the Irish townsfolk. As the violence escalates throughout the town, Katie must choose between the two men who have been vying for her love though only one might be able to restore hope to her heart.

"A tender and heartwarming story of love, forgiveness, and belonging, that will have readers laughing, weeping, and sighing with pleasure...This story is not merely a tale of love. [it] brings a reminder of times past, when immigrants suffered in a country claiming freedom to all. With so many wanting to share the space, learning to get along would sometimes prove challenging. Eden captures that friction very well in her story...Characters [are] well drawn and easy to sympathize with...A stirring story."—Foreword Reviews

The second installment of Eden’s historical romance series (after Longing for Home) is an intriguing mix of personal morality and social justice, masquerading as romance and bound with historical twine. In the late 19th century, the American-born farmers of the small Wyoming community of Hope Springs are at war with their Irish-born neighbors. The primary force for peace is Joseph Archer, a neutral local land baron who’s in love with his housekeeper, young Irishwoman Katie Macauley. Tavish O’Connor, Katie’s Irish sweetheart, must work with her and Joseph to save the people of Hope Springs from themselves. Tenderly written but sometimes emotionally manipulative, this novel explores and to some extent exploits the plight of the Irish after the great famine. Eden puts poor Katie through one ordeal after another, underlining a portrayal of the Irish as unfailingly good-hearted despite endless suffering.
