Ring of Salt
A Memoir of Finding Home and Hope on the Wild Coast of Ireland
Betsy’s debut memoir is forthcoming on September 30. You can preorder it here or at your local bookstore.
“Wondrous . . . This book renewed something in my own heart.”
“A beautiful story of resilience, hope, and hard-earned triumph, written in sentences as incandescent as the Irish coastline. Readers will cheer for Betsy Cornwell!”
“The best memoir I’ve read in years. Think Practical Magic set on the Irish coast.”
“Emotional, spellbinding, inspirational, Ring of Salt is a tour-de-force of a book.”
