Growing up in 19th century rural Ireland has few prospects. So when Bridget is given the chance to work in her aunts' dressmaking business in New York, she doesn't need asking twice. She quickly realizes, however, that dressmaking isn't her calling and finds a new role which better suits her personality. One of the many fascinating people she cares for at work asks her to travel to Italy with him as his nurse and companion. Again, she grabs this wonderful, life-changing opportunity. But Bridget's world comes crashing down. The unthinkable happens. And she and her companions are forced to flee in the middle of the night if they are to have any chance of survival. Travelling through Italy, they eventually reach Nice where Bridget meets her future husband, Philip. Although deeply in love, their marriage is hampered by their different religions. Are the vows they made before God strong enough to keep them together? Can they trust each other until death they do part? Find out in this fascinating piece of fact-based fiction. Based on the true story of Bridget Frisby whose legacy was passed down through generations of the author's family and was substantiated by much genealogical research, it is a rich and compelling historical novel you will never forget.
