  “I believe in you,” Amélie says. She peers up at me, her eyes alight with passion and pain. “Even the ocean wasn’t wide enough to keep us apart.”June 6, 1944. Gazing over the ocean, Eddie sits on the edge of a stone wall overlooking the beach. The tide that had swept in now slowly ebbs, leaving behind it a beach full of dead. There is so much work to be done.The thought depresses me, but I know that I can’t dwell on it too much. If I am to survive the war and find my way to Amélie in Paris, I have to stay on my guard and be ready for anything.At the thought of Paris, I lean back. Memories of those moments remain with me even now. After almost five years of separation, the promises we made to each other remain. I need to find Amélie. First, I just have to survive one of the most significant battles we have yet to face, the one they are calling D-Day. Reaching Paris and finding Amélie has never felt so impossible…Amélie, Paris. Mama smiles at me and makes her way into the kitchen. The sweet smell of fresh tea and biscuits baking in the oven fills the air. I pour a cup for each of us and sit down opposite her, cupping my own steaming brew.“If he is the man you describe, I think he will be a man who pursues honor and does his duty for God and his country,” Mama says, stirring the tea ruminatively. “I can only pray that God keeps watch over him, wherever he is.”A gripping story of love against all odds, found in the most hopeless of places. This epic listen reminds us that the pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.Listeners will absolutely love No Ocean Wide Enough.

  Caitriona Brady has spent years trapped between a loveless marriage, a ruthless mother-in-law, and a parish that remembers her dead husband more fondly than she ever could. When Bridget Brady finally dies, Caitriona believes she is free at last: free to keep her mountain cottage, work her own land, and decide the shape of her future. 
   
  But Doon Parish is not a place where the past loosens its grip easily. John Brady’s name still fuels the faction fights that scar the countryside, and every step Caitriona takes toward a new life becomes another excuse for men to raise their blackthorn sticks. 
   
  Michael Warner, the quiet brother of the parish priest, wants no part in the violence. He sees Caitriona not as a dangerous widow, but as a woman brave enough to survive a world determined to keep her grieving. Their love begins with tenderness, but soon demands courage neither of them expected. 
   
  Set against the rugged hills, holy wells, turf bogs, and parish tensions of nineteenth-century Ireland, The Widow of Doon Mountain is a passionate historical romance about loyalty, grief, forbidden hope, and the fierce right to begin again.
