Overview:

This is a good Irish story. The time is the 1920’s. Moira goes to Ireland to teach school after the death of her mother. She finds friends but then encounters all of the Irish superstitions as well as suspicions surrounding her mother. There seem to be secrets about her mother and some kind of scandal. She befriends a very ill and unlikable lad. That friendship costs her the job of teaching because of the fear of illness as a punishment. A fire intended to take her life is discovered.

However, the truth comes out in the end. Her mother is found to have been the subject of lies. Now romance is in her future.
