"Well told and beautifully written fascinating and powerfully emotional."-Frank West, Irish American News Ireland, 1924. When Norah Kelly unexpectedly dies, her family's peaceful, rural life is shattered. Her husband, Brendan, decides he must seek a new wife and temporarily places the four youngest children with Norah's elderly aunt, Bridgie. His plans inexplicably change the morning after his wedding. He refuses to take the children back, choosing to keep only the eldest, Pierce. He also steadfastly refuses to explain his decision. Aunt Bridgie is left to resolve the children's plight and find new homes for them. As the children grow to adulthood in greatly varied circumstances, the eldest daughter, Mary, becomes increasingly determined to reunite her family and understand why their father deserted them. The story of Norah's Children tugs at our hearts and holds us in its spell until the final, moving chapter.
