Synopsis
Shy young Caroline has come from England to Ireland in 1916 to work as a governess. But beautiful Grace, with her mysterious past and her fierce dedication to Ireland's freedom, opens Caroline's eyes to worlds she has never imagined.
As their friendship blossoms into romance, Caroline finds the greatest happiness she has ever known. But can their love survive the condemnation of a repressive society-and Grace's involvement in the approaching Easter Rising?
A passionate story of personal, sexual, and national liberation, set against the backdrop of an unforgettable moment in Irish history.

"The Leaving" (2011, Kindle and Smashwords) is a semi-autobiographical look at a rebellious adolescent girl coming of age in Dublin in the mid-1980s and her relationship with her gay brother. A reviewer of self-help books for Publishers Weekly for several years, she often reviews indie/small press books on her blog, gabriellawest.net. Her day job is proofreading and editing.

Review
"An exquisite and heart-wrenching tale. ...full of tantalizing plot lines and moments that will stay with the reader for a long time to come." --Red City Review
Time of Grace is light-years from lesbian pulp: political, insightful, and compassionate, emotional nuances articulated with precision. -- Mara Math, The Irish Herald
