Kate Donovan Burke must stand alone against evil landlord when her husband is arrested for treason in 1840s Ireland.

With photographs and architectural plans never before published, paired with comments in the very voices of those who witnessed the event, this book will stand apart from all the rest on the 10th anniversary of that world-changing event.

These stories of trauma cannot be limited to the catastrophes they name, and the theory of catastrophic history may ultimately be written in a language that already lingers in a time that comes to us from the other side of the disaster.

In this sequel to Only the River Runs Free, Joseph Connor Burke has reclaimed his ancestral acres, but his dreams of a peaceable kingdom are shattered by violence and betrayal. Will he stand for what he truly believes?
