HBL Note: Charming. That is the best word to describe Damhnait Monaghan’s debut novel, NEW GIRL IN LITTLE COVE. It is the perfect escapist, feel-good, leave-you-grinning kind of book. Sometimes you just want a book that will make you happy, and that is exactly what this novel offers. And you know how much I love featuring debut authors! They’ve worked so hard for this moment, the release of their first book, and I’m always honored when they (or their publicists) ask me to be a part of it. So let’s give Damhnait (pronounced Downith) a little HBL love. Scroll down to read more about NEW GIRL IN LITTLE COVE.

From the publisher:
The heavily Catholic fishing village of Little Cove is reeling from its last scandalous French teacher, and Rachel O’Brien has just unwittingly stepped in to fill her shoes. Rachel didn’t realize that, while she was looking to leave behind her old life in Toronto, she was getting in over her head in her new one. Completely out of her depth, Rachel realizes she barely understands the culture, the traditions, even the language (allegedly English) in this little Newfoundland town.
Still, she is quickly drawn into the island’s traditional music and the personal lives of her crusty but softhearted landlady, Lucille, her reluctant students and her fellow teacher Doug Bishop. But when her beliefs clash with church and community, she makes a decision that throws her career into jeopardy. In trying to help a student, has she gone too far?
A feel-good fish-out-of-water story about a city girl off taken out of her world and set firmly down in Newfoundland, NEW GIRL IN LITTLE COVE is as warm as a hearth fire and comforting as a cup of tea. Experience the small-town kindnesses, quirks and dramas, based on the author’s own experiences, through Rachel’s eyes as she navigates her strange new corner of the world.
