A drama of unprecedented grace

In Ireland in 1981 with her mother pregnant, 10-year-old Cáit is sent away by her dysfunctional family to stay with relatives she has never met. Seán and Eibhlín Cinnsealach, who speak Irish and live on a farm in rural County Waterford, are a childless middle-aged couple who dote on the girl and under whose care Cáit blossoms as she discovers a new way of family living.
