The Gatekeepers
How do you keep a secret from family? Is there any point in trying? The O'Deirgs must protect their ancient Irish legacy. But their family is growing steadily and violence creeps closer than they know. Their simple life is upended again as lost family returns from America. The Irish Civil War, raging in the cities, now threatens to engulf a close family member in its terrible struggle.
Maybe the blame lies with the local butcher, his shady secrets and his well-spiced sausages, or on the O'Deirgs' long history, or on the cousins from America, or on the practices of the Church, or on the local Innkeeper's past, or on the sheep - or maybe not. The Gatekeepers is the sequel to The Red Gate, which introduced the O'Deirg Secret to the world.
The Story Behind This Book
The sequel to The Red Gate, this book contains a story told me over drinks by a former New Mexico Legislator who was also a close friend... with his permission, of course! The story takes place in the Confessional and has been re-set in County Mayo, Ireland many years before it actually happened.
