SYNOPSIS:
Killarney Sabbatical is the funny and heart-rending story of Charlie Byrne. She has returned to Killarney, Ireland to face her daughter, Maggie - who she left behind as an infant, and to write a book as she has just earned tenure at a Catholic University in the U.S. She attempts to rekindle a relationship with her daughter's father, Irish poet, and storyteller - Jamie Moran, who alternately provides gentle humor, romance and anguish for both as their romance collides with her rigidly quiet, scholarly life. She is researching the young who perished in Killarney during the great famine and finally confronts her greatest, personal loss.
