In this anticipated prequel to Lighting the Candle, Caitl n and Kieran O'Sullivan have started a family on the rugged coast of Ireland, but never expected to be entrusted with an angel sent to experience a human life. The family is forced from their home, only to find an unwelcoming America on the brink of civil war. Together their journey leads them to a mountainous Virginia mining estate, Catawba Coal & Iron Company. Their youngest son, Peter, holds a wisdom and light beyond his human appearance in a world that threatens to be his undoing. He must learn to navigate a place where his culture is not always welcome, a love foretold by Irish myth, and a country where race dictates who is enslaved and who is free.
