A summer in Seattle, a charming little shop, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance at a new life...
In this sparkling prequel, Dublin girl Emma Carey jumps at the opportunity to start fresh in America—her old friend Fitzwilliam has offered her a job running a picturesque Irish shop near the shimmering waters of Puget Sound.

At 30, she's always played it safe, yet the shop sounds perfect—plus Emma's wise (and rather mystical) younger sister Hazel is all for it. But arriving in Seattle, Emma discovers the shop isn't at all what she imagined—the place actually needs a complete makeover in the worst way, and Fitz isn't quite up for the job.

As Emma begins to transform the shop, she discovers it's full of potential...and surprises. Just like the future that awaits her...

Brimming with heart and humor, The Little Irish Gift Shop is just the beginning of Emma's unforgettable journey to her heart's desire. This prequel spinoff may start in Seattle, but it's very much part of the cozy world of Ballydara, in County Galway, Ireland.

Susan Colleen Browne's Village of Ballydara series, set in a quaint Irish village, are heartwarming novels of love, friendship and family... the second and third novels of the Emma Carey trilogy, Becoming Emma and The Fairy Cottage of Ballydara, are now available!
