The Village is in sore need of a miracle. Struggling under grinding poverty and a greedy overlord, Bllynockanor is the story of a thousand Irish Villages where an English usurper is despised by his Irish tenants.

Is this quiet man the spark that will stroke the fires of Irish nationalism and bring freedom in a troubled time? Or will he bring the destruction of an entire way of life?

The Thoenes (Shiloh Autumn, Thomas Nelson, 1996), the prolific husband-wife team, set their latest offering in 1840s Ireland. A mysterious man named Joseph Connor arrives in the small village of Ballynockanor. He is befriended by the widower Tom Donovan and his five children. The eldest daughter, Kate, remains fairly aloof from Connor, largely because she feels self-conscious about her scarred body, the results of a fire that killed her husband a few years before. Over time, though, Kate and Joseph begin to fall in love. Will true love prevail? Of course, but not before many twists and turns in the plot. The Thoenes bring the oppression of life in Ireland to life brilliantly, and Kate is thoughtfully portrayed as a woman who begins to accept God again. Essential for Thoene fans and good enough to attract new readers.
