Jewels of the Sun by Nora Roberts

This is the first in a trilogy. I've read the series before and really enjoyed it, so when I needed something to listen to in the car, I gravitated toward this. In this first book, Jude has come to Ireland from Chicago and she's not sure why. She's always done what is right and expected of her in life. Since her husband of 2 months left her for another woman, so has been restless and unhappy. In a move not understood by her parents, she quits her job as a psychology professor and goes to stay in Ireland for 6 months. Here in the small village of Ardmour, she is welcomed with open arms since her grandmother was raised there. She befriends the Gallagher siblings and Brenna O'Toole. All the while she is supposedly writing a paper on the psychological aspects of legends and storytelling. When she becomes part of a legend, things get very interesting.

I loved this book and the narrator is wonderful in her Irish accents, and the pronunciation of many Gaelic words. A great read or listen!
