Gifford MacShane is the author of historical fiction that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
Her novels feature a family of Irish immigrants who settle in the Arizona Territory in the late 1800s. With an accessible literary style, MacShane draws out her characters' hidden flaws and strengths as they grapple with both physical and emotional conflicts.
Singing almost before she could talk, MacShane has always loved folk music, whether it be Irish, Appalachian, spirituals, or the songs of the cowboys. Her love of the Old West goes back to childhood, when her father introduced her to the works of Zane Grey. Later she became interested in the Irish diaspora, having realized her father's family had lived through An Gorta Mor, the Great Irish Potato Famine of the mid-1800s.
Writing allows her to combine her three great interests into a series of family stories, each with romance, traditional song lyrics, and a dash of Celtic mysticism. Having grown up in a large & often boisterous Irish-American family, she is intimately acquainted with the workings of such a clan and uses those experiences to good purpose (though no names will be named!)
The Donovan Family Saga includes WHISPERS IN THE CANYON (Book 1), THE WOODSMAN’S ROSE (Book 2), RAINBOW MAN (Book 3), and THE WINDS OF MORNING, a prequel novella requested by her fans. MacShane is currently working on Book 4 of the series, as yet untitled.
MacShane is a member of the Historical Novel Society and is an #OwnVoices writer. An avid gardener, Giff cultivates pollinator plants and grows tomatoes (not enough) and zucchini (too much). She loves to sing, though her cats don’t always appreciate it. A self-professed grammar nerd who still gets a kick out of diagramming sentences, she currently lives in Pennsylvania with her husband Richard, the Pied Piper of stray cats.

Donovan Family Saga
|
Damaged almost beyond hope, a young woman is offered safety—by the man who killed her brother.
1880s Arizona Territory: Shunned by the village for her outlaw brother's deeds, Jesse is not sorry to hear he's been killed while robbing a bank.
Strangely enough it's Adam Donovan, the man who shot him, who brings her the news. Even more strange is this newcomer's offer to help put her ranch back on solid footing.
Traumatized by years of abuse, Jesse doubts she can trust any man—especially this Irish immigrant with his volatile temper and gunfighter's reputation. But a profound love for her canyon home outweighs her trepidation, and she accepts his assistance.
As they work together to improve her ranch, Jesse comes to believe that Adam's true nature is far removed from his notoriety. She feels the first stirrings of love―an emotion she's never known before.
But her nascent dreams of romance turn to nightmares when she discovers that not all of her brother's evil deeds died with him.
Deceptively simple and poetic, this heartfelt western historical romance will tug at your emotions, make you laugh, cry, and even get a little angry, as it handles difficult topics with a sensitive touch.
Finalist: The Coffee Pot Book Club Historical Romance of the Year, 2019: "An emotionally evocative story... brilliantly written and fabulously executed."
Can Jesse trust her heart and reveal the extent of her brother's treachery to Adam? Can they build a future encumbered by the past, or will her confession destroy her one chance for happiness?
