It’s not easy being a businesswoman in the 1960s, but Tara Fitzgerald has done very well for herself. She runs her own hotel and a boarding house and has been offered an interesting investment opportunity. But Tara can’t let go of Ballygrace Manor back in Ireland, her late husband’s home and the scene of much tragedy and happiness in her life. Meanwhile, her half-sister Angela has met the man of her dreams. But small minds and loose talk endanger her happiness. And Bridget, Tara’s oldest friend, seems to have triumphed over her difficult childhood. But a face from the past threatens her hard-won security. Will Angela’s love win out? Will Bridget keep her family together? And can Tara move on from her tragic past? Just what is Tara’s Destiny? |

Raven-haired Kate Flowers lives on the banks
of the canal in Ballygrace, looking after
widowed mother, Mary, and undependable
brother, Brendan, who works on the barges.
Life starts to change when Kate meets
handsome boatman, Michael O’Brien, and
she casts aside her dreams of nursing, for
the conventional path of marriage and
motherhood.
When the canal barges are threatened, Brendan is torn between emigration and his secret love for the daughter of a volatile neighbour. Then suddenly, the family’s life is shattered when a tragedy occurs, leaving all three in circumstances they could never have imagined. The Flowers family are forced to rebuild their lives in new surroundings that will test them, and give them the courage to bloom once again. Previously published in 2006 as The Flowers of Ballygrace |

Tara Flynn, beautiful and ambitious, easily attracts male interest.
Her friend Biddy Harte, a kindhearted orphan fostered by the uncaring Lizzy Lawless, has fallen into another trap. Soon heartbreaking events force the girls to leave their native Ballygrace and flee to England and Tara’s hopes of romance are dashed. The girls’ new life in Manchester brings romance for Biddy. But can she rely on his love when shameful secrets loom from the past to confront her? And can Tara still hope to climb the ladder of success in her new career? Or is prosperous, handsome businessman Frank Kennedy the answer to both ambition and loneliness? Tara Flynn is an honest, inspiring novel, which captures vividly the Ireland of years ago. Tara is a memorable heroine: strong, ambitious, kind and the reader becomes completely absorbed with her tale. |

Just finished Tara's Destiny. I really enjoyed the book and my favoaurite character in all three books has to be
Bridie (or Bridget as she now calls herself. I felt as if I was in Ballygrace house with all the characaters and when they went to UK I followed them there too. The three books are real page turners. I have reserved Geraldine's other books in the library and cant wait to get stuck into them.
