About the Book
Title: All That Compels The Heart
Author: Erin Bowlen
Genre: Contemporary Romance
All That
Compels the Heart is the story of Aoife O’Reilly’s unintentional journey
towards self-discovery.
Aoife O’Reilly
seemingly had the perfect life: a good job, successful boyfriend, and the two
best friends a woman could ever ask for.
However, when tragedy strikes, she begins to feel like her life is
unraveling. After a visit to the
monastic site of Glendalough brings her to the nearby charming village of
Ballyclara, Aoife makes the bold decision to leave her friends and family in
Dublin, and moves to the Irish countryside.
Purchasing the
long-abandoned Aldridge Manor, she throws herself into the task of renovating
the house with the help of local pub owner and contractor, Michal
Flanagan. While Aoife begins to settle
in well with the other villagers, she finds herself perpetually at odds with
Michael. Aoife strives to find some
common ground with him, but the more effort she puts into building a life in
Ballyclara, the more she feels herself drifting apart from her friends and
family back in Dublin.
Just as Aoife
makes a choice between her life in Dublin and life in Ballyclara, a career
opportunity in New York presents itself and she is left with the question: will
she choose to stay in Ireland? Or should
she take the job in New York and leave everything behind?
Author Bio
Erin Bowlen was born and raised in New Brunswick, Canada. Growing up,
she was influenced by her family's artistic roots in the art of storytelling,
which fostered a deep love for literature at a young age.
Erin began her writing career during her postgraduate studies at the University of New Brunswick. Finding herself at a crossroads with her academic writing, a friend suggested that she try writing fiction. Afraid she might be too much of a storyteller to be completely academic (and afraid she might be too academic to be a storyteller), she decided to participate in a 30-day writing competition. At the end of the month she was surprised that she not only met her word count goal, but she had also developed several novel ideas.
After a few years of developing her craft, she finally took the next step and published her first novel: All That Compels the Heart.
Erin currently lives in New Brunswick.
