The Visitor

It's 1893 and Aislin Sheehan suddenly finds herself the widow of Callum Sheehan; and, sole owner and operator of an isolated two hundred acre Crown Concession, fourteen miles of rural dirt roads away from the nearest village of Orillia, Ontario, Canada. At twenty-six years old Aislin dauntlessly decides her future lies there, rather than returning to her squalid life in County Antrim, Ireland. Shortly thereafter, Aislin's former fiancé, Brody Kavanagh, desiring a new life in Canada, seeks out his former love and her husband, for advice and direction, only to discover Aislin is now a widow struggling against an almost impossible task of working the Concession on her own. Brody offers to stay through the remainder of the winter and spring planting but finds himself, once again, falling in love with Aislin. Their fates and futures are sealed when Aislin discovers she is pregnant with Callum's baby. Aislin accepts Brody's proposal of marriage, which they determine should be held on the national holiday, May 24, Victoria Day, in Orillia, at the Simcoe Guest House of the widow, Mrs. Muriel Pickens. That fortuitous decision, along with their innate abilities and hard work, lead Aislin, Brody and Muriel to unite to create one of the most successful industrial groups in Canada, if not the world. How they achieved such personal and financial success and international recognition is fascinatingly detailed by the author, Michael James Stewart, in such a manner as for the reader to never forget the enchanting recounting of 'The Visitor - An Unforgettable Saga -'.
