The Winds of County Down

Under remarkable circumstances, a child of a desperately poor Scottish shepherd, Maggie Coburn, moves with her family to the mountain farmland of Northern Ireland in 1854. Her journey to the Legananny begins a long, secret friendship with a soldier of the Scots Fusilier Guards, the future 5th Earl of Annesley. What expectation could Maggie, the lovely crippled maid of Legananny, have of being a wife and mother, in the harsh conditions and superstitions of rural County Down? Would Joseph, the wild Irish boy who claims to love her, consent to be shackled to a wife who cannot walk or help with his farm or children? Would the powerful nobleman she loves, forsake his social and political responsibilities, to take a tenant farmer's daughter to wed? Maggie Coburn, lives her life full out with the courage, bruises, and triumphs born of a intrepid, determined and hopeful spirit.
