For seventeen-year-old Delk Sinclair studying abroad in Ireland means one thing: escape. Delk is tired of hearing about her friends' debutante parties watching her pregnant stepmother redecorate her mother's house and having to smile sweetly even though she doesn't think she'll ever get over losing her mother. Ireland is Delk's chance to be happy. With the stunning green landscape as backdrop Delk revels in all things Irish from living in a real Irish castle to celebrating St. Paddy's Day in Galway to enjoying Irish music and dance to studying Yeats and shearing a sheep! So when Delk begins to fall for a very handsome Irishman she wonders if there's more to the Emerald Isle than it first seemed. It is fun to be sure but will those smiling Irish eyes really be able to heal her broken heart?
