The beauty of being young is that every day is like the first day of the rest of your life.

Set against the rugged cliffs and rugged life of a coastal Ireland village in 1906, The Robin’s Gaze follows the life of Alvin McGinn, a humble farmer with a love for family and Ireland itself. When Alvin meets Edna, a spirited girl selling fish in the village, their connection is immediate and profound. Their love blossoms amid the backdrop of sea spray and starry nights, promising a future as limitless as the horizon.

When the local lord begins selling off his estate to the local tenant farmers, most of the village wants a slice of the pie for themselves and so do the McGinns. Alvin wants a farm to start his family, and his brother Kellen wants a piece to try his hand in the local fishing trade.

Life has a way of challenging even the most promising horizons. An act of kindness allows the couple to start their journey together, but when tragedy strikes, shattering their world, Alvin must confront his demons or risk losing everything they had worked so hard to build.

In this poignant tale of love, loss, and resilience, The Robin’s Gaze explores the depths of human emotion and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
