The Gatekeepers (Paperback)

How do you keep a secret from family? Is there any point in trying? The O'Deirgs must protect their ancient Irish legacy. But with their family growing steadily and Civil War violence creeping closer, their happy life is upended again as lost family returns from America. The Irish Civil War, raging in the cities, now threatens to engulf another family member in it's terrible struggle. Maybe the blame lies with the local butcher, his shady secrets and his well-spiced sausages, or on the O'Deirgs' long history, or on the cousins from America, or on the practices of the Church, or on the local Innkeeper's past, or on the sheep - or maybe not. The Gatekeepers is the sequel to The Red Gate, which introduced the O'Deirg Secret to the world.
