A mystical Irish tale set in the sleepy little village of Ballydara...
In this luminous prequel to the short story "The Christmas Visitor," you'll meet the O'Donoghue family: Maeve, Declan, Nuala and Ava...and Frank, Maeve's husband. Frank is celebrating his retirement, planning to play lots of golf, when he hears his son Declan's startling news. The next day, St. John's Eve (June 23rd), Frank takes a break from his golf game and heads for his favorite getaway, a secret well, to ponder how to help his son, and perhaps make a fresh start for his own marriage to Maeve. At the well, which has always had a calming, even a bit of a magical effect on him, Frank has an extraordinary experience that leads him to re-examine his own life as a husband and father.
Spend a summer's afternoon with the O'Donoghue family and this gentle, uplifting story, and discover if one man's loving spirit can lead to a family's reconciliation.
