Winter's Hiding
eBook & paperback available from Amazon. Novel by Catherine Arthur
When a blizzard cuts off the village of Carraigfola, little do the inhabitants know what mischief arrived ahead of the storm. Accusations and incarceration follow, but all is not quite as it seems.
The tiny chapel of St. Julian the Hospitaler serves as both prison and house of God.
Chained to its wall, one man believes it will be his last resting place unless the thaw comes and by some miracle he is released. However, not everyone is so sure of his guilt. Fighting against the prejudice and fears of the other villagers, Bébinn Ó Cuilinn and Gráinee MacCrory struggle to keep him from freezing to death.
Set at the beginning of 1801 in Northern Ireland, Winter’s Hiding is a tale of desperation and indecent deviltry, of vindictive acts and hasty recriminations. But among the darkness, grace and generosity of spirit shine bright.
