The Lace Makers Of Glenmara

Description for THE LACE MAKERS OF GLENMARA by Heather Barbieri:

"You can always start again," Kate Robinson's mother once told her. "All it takes is a new thread. "

Overwhelmed by heartbreak and loss, Kate follows her mother's advice and flees to Ireland, her ancestral homeland, hoping to reinvent herself. In the seaside hamlet of Glenmara, the struggling twenty-six-year-old fashion designer quickly develops a bond with members of the local lace-making society -- and soon she and the lace makers are creating a line of exquisite lingerie, their skilled hands bringing flowers, Celtic dragons, nymphs, saints, kings, and queens to life with painterly skill. The circle also offers them something more: the strength to face their desires and fears. But not everyone in this charming, fading Gaelic village welcomes Kate, and a series of unexpected events threatens to unravel everything the women have worked so hard for.
