"I can honestly say it's one of the most enjoyable books I've read." - IRISH WORLD
"A hidden, secret story behind the commonly received "facts", that has nothing to do with legend... cuts across political or religious prejudices." -- BELFAST TELEGRAPH
"A truly incredible historical novel. From the very beginning of Tread Softly on My Dreams by Gretta Curran Browne, I was captivated by the rugged beauty of Ireland's mountains and its soft lush valleys. The author's detailed description enhanced the vision for the story, while each new character increased the intrigue. Every path provided clarity of the situation, both personal and political, showing great determined strength of the human spirit to stand firm in the belief of a free Ireland, even at the expense of their own lives.
I cheered the hero and heroines of the story, applauding their successes and shedding tears at the injustices, brutality, and suffering of the people who simply wanted their freedom. The reader's heart will swell with the love Robert has for Sarah, and the unspoken love Anne has for Robert. A fantastic read from beginning to end." -- Reviewed by READERS' FAVORITE
