Book Review: "The Legend of Shannonderry" by Carol Warburton

Set against the backdrop of early 19th Century, "The Legend of Shannonderry" tells the story of Gwyneth Beddoes.  Her Irish mother died in childbirth and she was a raised by a distant English father.  When her dying grandmother in Ireland writes to invite her to the family's ancestral estate, Gwyneth runs away with her spirited stallion to Shannonderry in County Cork.  She is helped by the dashing Cormac D'Arcy, her grandmother's neighbor, with whom she quickly falls in love with.  Once her Ireland, she quickly learns that the Irish really don't think much of the English and faces animosity from many sources, even though she is half Irish.

Romance, action, and the legend of the ancestor she was named after...all woven into a exciting page turner.  Carol Warburton has written another wonderful story with a little something for everyone!
