The Concannon Sisters trilogy, also known as the Irish Born trilogy, is set in the green countryside of County Clare, Ireland. Born in Fire introduces Maggie Concannon, a stubborn and gifted glassblower who clashes with a Dublin gallery owner. Born in Ice follows her quieter sister Brianna, who runs a B&B, and Born in Shame brings American-raised Shannon to Ireland after she learns the truth about her biological father.
Family tension drives much of the series, as the three sisters navigate their difficult mother, old secrets, and their own reluctance to trust. Roberts’ love of Ireland shines through in the landscape descriptions and the warmth of the small-village setting.
