Yesterday's Dreams

Yesterday's Dreams Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

History...Legacy...Destiny... Kara O?Keefe had not realized, at the age of eight, how much her beloved Grandda had left her with his passing. All she knew was he would no long tell her magical tales of ancient Ireland and the Sidhe. He would no longer share with her nature's secrets or push her to find that brilliant swirling point deep inside that made her music magical. All she knew was she had lost her greatest treasure. Once destined for Julliard, but now merely an overly gifted violin instructor, Kara discovers at the age of twenty-three that she was wrong as she is abruptly confronted with the wealth, and weight, of her fantastic inheritance?and the threat of losing her father next. It is at Yesterday's Dreams, a pawnshop tucked away on a quiet Soho street, where Kara discovers her true legacy, her own inner power, and destiny and danger both begin to stalk her. Forced to give up Quicksilver, her cherished violin and the only physical link with her long-gone Grandda, Kara's selfless sacrifice becomes the key to her fate. Confused by the radical turn her life has taken and pursued by malevolent forces she does not understand, Kara O?Keefe must trust in a dead man she loved but never truly knew and Maggie McCormick, the living myth charged with helping her to survive. Has she inherited the tenacious strength of her Celtic ancestors, or would she fall beneath the onslaught of uncompromising Fate ?
