This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:The Walking People
By Mary Beth Keane
Publication Date: May 20
From Amazon:
"Greta Cahill never believed she would leave her village in the west of Ireland until she found herself on a ship bound for New York, along with her sister Johanna and a boy named Michael Ward. Labeled a "softheaded goose" by her family, Greta discovers that in America she can fall in love, raise her own family, and earn a living. Though she longs to return and show her family what she has made of herself, her decision to spare her children knowledge of a secret in her past forces her to keep her life in New York separate from the life she once loved in Ireland, and tears her apart from the people she is closest to. Even fifty years later, when the Ireland of her memory bears little resemblance to that of present day, she fears that it is still possible to lose all when she discovers that her children—with the best of intentions— have conspired to unite the worlds she’s so carefully kept separate for decades."

Hmm, I like books about Irish people. :-) May have to check this one out.
Here's mine.
I have been looking for books involving Ireland - it is my theme for the theme challenge this year. I have yet to start reading any though, I think I will add this one!

Hm, this sounds interesting! Why did she keep America and Ireland separated? I suspect there will be some tense/awkward moments between her and her children if her children try to bring Ireland back into her life!
Here's what I'm waiting on this week.
Jill here's my answer, but i forgot to link to you this week. I'll fix it when I get home later!

That sounds like a really cool book. I'm with Cecilia - I want to know why she has to keep them separate.
