In the uncertain months that followed, her fierce determination to give her child what she never had a safe and stable home saved them.In Ring of Salt, Betsy traces her journey from that desperate moment to Irelands windswept west coast, where the Atlantic Ocean crashes against ancient cliffs. There, nestled beside a quiet lake in the wilds of Connemara, she discovers a longabandoned knitting factory forgotten, but full of possibility.

In the cool mists of the countryside, and with the help of fellow survivors and an unexpected community, she pieces together a new kind of family.Mixing Maids gripping portrait of single motherhood with Winterings wild, romantic sense of place, this is a powerful memoir of survival, new beginnings, and the quiet, everyday magic of finding home on one of the worlds most storied and soulstirring coastlines.
