Description
A tragic childhood event left Maud Drennan haunted. Now a caregiver, she keeps to herself, and visits an agoraphobic neighbor. Then she meets Cathal Flood, the lone occupant of a Gothic mansion crawling with feral cats. If she can help him get his house in order, he hopes to thwart his son's attempts to put him into an old-age home. The pair bonds over their shared love of Irish folktales, but family secrets and the cold-case of a missing schoolgirl lead to a search for answers -- and possibly forgiveness.
