Survival - Ellen May Hynes - Bog

At Muir farm on the Connemara coast, life was a real challenge for Aoifa and Padraig. Their daughter Niamh had vanished into thin air. Not a trace, and for mysterious Clara with her head in the clouds, nothing seemed to touch her - yet - Since the sudden and tragic loss of Mairead, their daughter Siobhan, also of the element of Fire, now seemed to be the pariah in their midst. The burning question on everyone's lips of course was who would inherit the gift which had travelled down through the family for centuries? And what about Aoifa's troubled relationship with her brother? According to him, money could conquer everything... could it? Whilst trauma and tragedy continue to besiege the family, Aoifa was plagued by questions - when would hope and happiness become a reality and - was that love on the horizon? Life felt very unreal right now - almost pure fantasy in fact - and often more of a living nightmare with climate change an ever-present threat. Once upon a time, their lives had been so simple... As their journey unravels, will it be weakness or strength which drives this extraordinary family and will it be truth or fantasy which wins through in the end?
