Publisher's summary

In 5th-century pagan-dominated Ireland, Brigid is born a slave to her own father and is separated from her mother. Desperately seeking love and acceptance, Brigid becomes a believer in Christ. Knowing how the Irish people cling to superstitions and fears, can Brigid overcome them? Will her hatred for her father and a scheming evil sorcerer destroy her faith? Set in the era of St. Patrick, this fantasy-filled novel will captivate listeners as Brigid must choose between God’s will and the desire to save her family.

Intriguing, Mysterious and Inspirational

I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed story. At some points I did get lost but I don’t think I would have if I had been reading the words. I’m not real used to the Irish accent so that probably explains why. I was very intrigued from the very beginning about Brigid and her mother. I really liked the character “Cook” and how she liked to take care of Brigid. I learned quite a bit about the Irish and the characters were well brought out.
If you like an intriguing, mysterious and inspirational story I think you will like this one.
I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook from the author but was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Great Historical Figure Fiction

This was my first experience with Cindy Thomson's work, and it was entertaining. The author wrote a story about Brigid, a historical woman of Ireland. It was obvious that the life of Brigid was well researched. The author incorporated several details about Brigid's life found in multiple sources, even though a lot of Brigid's life was shrouded by myth and mystery. I liked that Brigid was painted so realistically. Stacey Houston's narration was great, and her charming Irish lilt added a touch of authenticity to the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Life is Ireland

I enjoyed listening to the Irish progue, learning some of the history of life in Ireland and Christianity there also. Brigid's life is dedicated to helping the poor and God blesses her actions. It is not easy for her to remain faithful to God as she is confronted with myths and mysteries. Ms. Houston does an excellent job reading the book. I was given a free copy from the author. I choose to write this review.
