And though the rest of the locals are slow to welcome them, the Freemans believe that in time they will be accepted. But the Freemans have fallen under an ancient Celtic curse - and soon they will learn the truth about what it means to be outsiders..." . The Author's Stand-alone First Book/Debut Novel.
