Purchase options and add-ons

The mysteries of the past confront the secrets of the present in bestselling author BJ Hoff's magnificent Song of Erin saga.

In her own unique style, Hoff spins a panoramic story that crosses the ocean from Ireland to America, featuring two of her most memorable characters. In this tale of struggle and love and uncompromising faith, Jack Kane, the always charming but sometimes ruthless titan of New York's most powerful publishing empire, is torn between the conflict of his own heart and the grace and light of Samantha Harte, the woman he loves, whose own troubled past continues to haunt her.

Originally published to strong sales nearly a decade ago, this new edition combines two of BJ's best novels into one saga-length volume.

"The Song of Erin contains some of my favorite characters. This story--and its people--hold a very special place in my heart." BJ Hoff

BJ Hoff

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

BJ Hoff’s writing is known for her historical settings, her unforgettable characters, and her lyrical prose. She is the bestselling author of numerous historical fiction series, including the Riverhaven Years, the Mountain Song Legacy, the Song of Erin saga, the American Anthem series, and An Emerald Ballad series.

Her five-volume Emerald Ballad series was the first major work of fiction to bring the Irish immigration experience to the CBA marketplace–and the work that first brought BJ an international reading audience.

Her readers know they can expect to meet some memorable people in her novels and also know that many of those people will be immigrants–Irish immigrants particularly but not exclusively.

BJ admits to a passion for “building worlds.” Whether her characters move about in small country towns or metropolitan areas, reside in Amish settlements, secluded mansions, or coal company houses, she creates communities where people can form relationships, raise families, pursue their faith, and experience the mountains and valleys of life.

She’s intent on making her historical novels relevant to the present by developing characters and settings that, while staying true to the history and culture of their times, reflect many of the spiritual trials and social problems faced by contemporary readers. Her novels are meant to be “stories that build a bridge from the past to the present.”

Her literary awards include the Christianity Today’s Critics Choice Book Award for fiction; a Gold Medallion Award finalist; and a number of Excellence in Media Silver Angel awards. Her books have been translated into many foreign languages, and she frequently hears from her international readers in countries such as Ireland, England, Norway, and Germany.

A former church music director and music teacher, BJ is a member of the Authors Guild, the Irish American Cultural Institute, and the Appalachian Writers Association.

She writes from her home in a small town in east central Ohio. She and her husband share a love of music, books, and time spent with their family: two married daughters, three lively young grandsons, a loopy Golden Retriever, and a cunning, incorrigible but lovable cat.

And B J Hoff captures the very gritty and the timidly tender essence of new beginnings with her rich writing style. This book is a great read. I've read this book three times and enjoyed all three journeys.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book EVER!

My maternal grandmother was born in Ireland, and made her journey to America as a young woman. This saga by BJ Hoff opened my memory bank of many stories my grammy shared with me about her journey. This was absolutely the best book I have ever read in my life..and believe me, I read a LOT of books. It is well documented, well researched, historically sound, and above all a beautiful work of fiction woven in with the history.
A story that shows REAL life struggles, real life faith, and how people can overcome most anything in life by exercising Faith and strength of character. I LOVE BJ Hoff's writings, and this one is a book that will stay on my Kindle to be read again. Thank you, BJ for a wonderful read.

This book was very different as Hoff delved into so many of the characters lives. She continued to interest me throughout the books by always having something unexpected happen or some dark secret drug up from the beginning of the book only to reveal it at the very end! Hoff has a lovely talent at writing and I will be reading more of her books in the future.

I have read this story twice now and was enthralled with the characters and story year again. My grandfather was an Irish immigrant so BJ Hoff's stories are very close to my heart. Having read the Emerald Ballad series several times too, the characters seem very real, almost as if I know them. For historical Christian fiction, BJ Hoff is one of the best writers in my opinion. Do not miss her American Anthem too.

It is extremely rare for me to write a book review. I am a huge fan of historical fiction, but find it difficult to find books that I fall in love with. I thoroughly enjoyed this series, and I have just started my second series by BJ Hoff. My only complaint is that I wish there was another book in this series because I fell in love with the characters and didn't want to say goodbye to them!

I had read these books several years ago. I remembered how much I enjoyed them, so I read them again. I love historical fiction, and B.J. Hoff does a great job writing about Ireland and New York City. The characters were very believable and the story was interesting. I recommend these and all her books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Song of Erin: Cloth of Heaven/Ashes and Lace (Song of Erin Series 1-2)
Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2013

I was disappointed for the 1st time EVER w/an Amazon order with this books condition. I know when purchasing a used book, it isn't new. But this book is VERY used..If I rated the book solely on it's condition, I'd give it one star. But the shipping time was fast, and considering the "used book" price I paid, I will say it's okay. Just the worst condition book I've ever received from an Amazon seller.

The story itself is good..I'm only 100 pages into 1st "series", but as with my previous BJ Hoff books, I'm glued. I would highly recommend any BJ Hoff book..as well as Lori Copeland.
