About this listen

From the best-selling author of The Tide Between Us and The Memory of Music comes an epic story of the American West.

The Weaver’s Legacy

The year 1865. Goldie O’Neill was nine years of age when she trekked across the unclaimed American West with her family to form their own Irish Catholic colony. Their new community had dreams of self-governance and prosperity far removed from the anti-Irish sentiment and prejudice of the ruling classes. They soon learned about the extremes of the American West and the ongoing Indian war. A year after their arrival, Goldie blames herself for her sister’s disappearance. She forms an unlikely friendship with a Lakota Indian boy who promises to help with her lifelong quest to find her sister. In the intervening years, as their community flourishes and a new prejudice surfaces, her sister’s disappearance ebbs away for everyone except Goldie.

The year 1937. Lucy O’Neill was adopted by her aunt Goldie O’Neill. When she learns that her father, Lorcan O’Neill, has returned to the small town in the Midwest after a 30-year absence, she returns to meet him. Aware of the silence that surrounds his name and the reluctance of her family to reveal the real story, Lucy delves into the past to find a story far removed from the account her aunt had told her.

Being a weaver myself, of course I wanted to read this. I read it as I wove and when I wasn’t weaving. I enjoyed it completely. I got so involved with the characters and story. I was sad when it ended.

Another story from a branch of the O’Neill family history! This book was so much more than I expected, I am impressed with the history and raw emotions that Oliver Collins gives us in her books.
