Luck of the Irish

I was in my local grocery store, of all places, when I saw a display of new books.  You know, the ones near the magazines and across from the toys.  A very attractive green cover caught my eye and before I could even get to the title, the author's name jumped out at me: 

Having read and reviewed her previous book, The Middle Place, I was kind of surprised to see this book on the shelf, nestled there with such little fanfare.  Perhaps I've been living under a rock.  In any case, call it luck of the Irish as we near St. Patrick's Day, that this little gem will be next on my reading list.
