Estranged from her family since childhood, Abby lands on a small Irish dairy farm where she encounters down-on-his-luck New York stockbroker Kit, who with Abby helps a pair of elderly cheesemakers save their farm. - Blackwell North Amer
Joseph Corrigan and Joseph Feehan, better known as Corrie and Fee, make the finest cheese in the entire civilized world. But Corrie still pines for his long-lost granddaughter, Abbey, whisked away from the family farm as a child by her gallivanting mother.
As it happens, Abbey, now twenty-nine and trying to cook a chicken in a primitive hut on a remote South Seas island, is soon to leave her irrigation-obsessed husband after discovering that he has gone biblical with several of the natives.
Meanwhile, a continent away, Kit Stephens is struggling with the loss of his wife and his career as a high-flying Wall Street broker. What this lonely, hungover, and burned-out New Yorker needs is a miracle - fast. Where better to find one than in a distant corner of Ireland, on a dairy farm run by the unlikeliest pair ever to preside over a vat of unpasteurized curd?
As Abbey and Kit converge on Coolarney House in County Cork, they discover a marvelous kingdom where something wonderful is always fermenting ... where pregnant, vegetarian dairymaids milk cows to "The Sound of Music" ... and where a cat named Jesus realizes she just isn't cut out for motherhood. While Corrie and Fee zealously guard the secret of the renowned farmhouse cheese and shelter an odd collection of whisky-soaked men and broken-hearted women, a tantalizing mystery surfaces from the aromatic depths of the factory. Soon Abbey and Kit will find out whether they have what it takes to become master cheesemakers. And something more. For in this magical place where wounds miraculously heal, falling in love is what makes us come truly alive.
