I always know that when I pick up a book written by Luanne Rice, I will be drawn into a wonderfully woven story. Last week I picked up a copy of What Matters Most, and I have once again found myself snuggled up with another fantastic book. The main character, Sister Bernadette Ignatius, has returned to Ireland with her caretaker/friend Tom Kelly to search for the son they gave up many years ago. Bernadette and Tom have a past filled with young love and desire, that came to a hault when Bernadette felt a calling to a vocation as Mother Superior at Star of the Sea Academy on the sea-tossed Connecticut shore. Her decision to give up their son and life as she knew it, also affected Tom. He wound up giving up his fortune and taking the job as caretaker at Star of the Sea, so that he could remain close to his beloved Bernie, knowing he could no longer have herbut whom he never stopped loving. Bernie's calling may have changed the path of both of their lives, however, their journey together is far from over.
In Dublin, Ireland a young man named Seamus Sullivan is also dealing with finding his life's path and dreaming of being reunited with his own first love, the only “family” he’s ever known. They’d been inseparable growing up together at St. Augustine’s Children’s Home, until Kathleen Murphy’s parents claimed her and took her home to America. Years later, in a Newport mansion, Kathleen, now a grown woman, works as a maid and waits with a strong faith, for the miracle that will bring back the only boy she’s ever loved.
Miracles are in store for those who are brave enough to hope for what matters most...
