Born in the village of Easkey, Ireland
just before World War II, Cara Brannan dreams of becoming a nurse and starting
a new life in America. Her mother, an Irish suffragette, encourages Cara to set
goals and be fiercely independent. She moves to Dublin and begins nurses
training at Saint John’s Hospital, forging friendships and encountering
obstacles as a young single woman. Then she meets Aiden Whyte. Like-minded,
Cara and Aiden join forces, marry, and journey to the States as newlyweds.
Welcoming their son Caleb into the world,
Cara embraces motherhood. As a new mother and nurse in New York City, she
struggles, facing class conflict, career barriers, and loneliness. Cara endures
because of her strength of character, compassion, and an irrepressible joy of
life.
As Caleb comes of age, it’s his turn to
carve out a place for himself during the late 1960s—a
time of turbulence, protest, and incredible change. He finds New York to be a
challenge but filled with opportunity.
Caleb’s Window will quietly move into your heart and
mind, remaining long after you turn the final page.
