Searching for Danny Boy -

Falling in Love With Ireland and Basketball Legend, Paudie O’Connor

A BRIEF SYNOPSIS …

In the summer of 1972, fresh college graduates, Debbie Branch and Marygray Proffitt, leave Maryville, Tennessee, for an adventure in Ireland that quickly turns chaotic when they are fired from their jobs at an Irish castle. Broke but undeterred, they embark on a road trip across stunning Irish landscapes in search of new jobs, where Debbie unexpectedly meets charming Irish basketball star, Paudie O'Connor. Their instant chemistry ignites a year-long, passionate romance that blooms amidst the backdrop of the danger of The Troubles. Paudie calls her “Deb,” which Debbie soon takes as her pseudonyme. Deb and Marygray’s courage and resilience is tested, as they navigate danger and uncertainty together. Deb discovers not only the beauty of Ireland but also her own strength and self-assurance through her deepening love for Paudie and her friendship with Marygray.
