Invisible borders separate people, including Paddy and his pregnant girlfriend. With few prospects, Paddy sails to America. However, America is far from the land of opportunity he&#8217;d hoped for. And worse, his girl refuses to follow him because of her political involvement.<br><br>Thirty years later, Patrick has moved on with his life, building a new family. A letter arrives, suggesting the child he&#8217;d assumed died may be alive. Patrick&#8217;s American daughter Mardell pushes him to find out what happened to her sister, named Juniper. Patrick anxiously sails to Ireland.<br><br>Juniper endured a childhood in institutions, and when she&#8217;s released, she moves on without the parents who left her. Operating an apothecary out of an inherited cottage where villagers are slow to trust outsiders, Juniper finally finds a home when her grandmother arrives. Just as she feels comfortable and content, her father shows up at her door, bringing shocking news about her mother.<br><br><strong><em>Finding Juniper<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;invites readers on a journey of confronting the past, healing from old traumas, and redefining what family truly means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/square.link\/u\/LrAZbfdF\">Order from me with autograph<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/square.link\/u\/LrAZbfdF\">Amazon<\/a> (affiliate link used)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please note that Amazon affiliate links are used on this blog.
