Shifting Sands is a novel written by Mrs. Patrick MacGill and published in 1922. The book tells the story of a young woman named Mary O'Neill, who lives in a small Irish village in the early 20th century. Mary is a strong and independent woman who dreams of a better life for herself and her family. She is determined to leave the village and make a new life for herself in America. However, her plans are complicated by her love for a local boy named Michael, who is also determined to leave the village and make a new life for himself.
