Londonderry Dreaming

By Christine Lindsay

Description:

Acclaimed New York artist, Naomi Boyd, and music therapist, Keith Wilson, loved one another five years ago, until her grandfather with his influence over Naomi separated them.

That root of bitterness keeps them apart until a letter from Keith’s grandmother, Ruth, draws Naomi to Londonderry to find she’s too late. Ruth has passed on. After the death of his beloved grandmother, Keith has also come to Londonderry only to open the door to his past…Naomi...beautiful as ever, the girl who broke his heart.

A mysterious painting in Ruth’s attic brings up questions about their grandparents’ entwined past and their own broken romance. But more comfortable with the unspoken languages of art and music, Naomi and Keith find it difficult to share their old hurts and true feelings.

Will the majestic coastline of Northern Ireland inspire them to speak the words to bring peace to their grandparents’ memory and to rekindle love?

Book Takeaway:

A sweet romance in a beautiful setting to take you away for a while, and make you swoon, and draw you closer to God.

Why the author wrote this book:

This book, set in the beautiful country of my birth--Ireland--is the foil for one of the spiritual lessons I have learned---that words must be spoken to allow love to grow. Love can only develop fully between two people if words are spoken to convey what's on their hearts. Love for God will grow in our hearts if we speak words of love to Him in our prayers. That is what Londonderry Dreaming is all about.
