When Rory O\u2019Flynn unexpectedly inherited a ten-acres property in Ireland, he had no idea he was going to be instrumental in unearthing his ancestors\u2019 long-buried past: when Jonathan Flynn lost his whole family to tragic circumstances, it was just the beginning of a series of unfortunate incidents that followed the young Irish man. Trying to escape his dangerous enemies, Jonathan boards a ship to Boston, but fate has other plans for him. Snowden\u2019s cast is morally diverse, and the fast-moving narrative beautifully highlights the book&#8217;s underlying message of retribution and deliverance. The intricate worldbuilding and winding storyline with almost nonstop shocking twists keep the pages turning. At its core, the novel is an exploration of one man\u2019s journey of survival in the face of depravity and deprivation and his ability to rise above his birth station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On Distant Shores<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Wes Snowden<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Distant-Shores-riveting-historical-ambition-ebook\/dp\/B09418DQ5B\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date May 2, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ASIN B09418DQ5B<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $2.43 (USD) Kindle edition, $14.98 Paperback<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solidly convincing and wholly engrossing&#8230; Treachery, murder, love, and ambition mark Snowden\u2019s page-turning latest, a tale of one man\u2019s journey of revenge and redemption.
