Caitlin (Kate) O'Rourke, at six-one and one-hundred-seventy-eight pounds, with dark skin, raven-black hair, and a nose like an eagle, is a has-been in her late twenties. A star setter/middle blocker on the Italian Pro Volleyball circuit, she finds herself prematurely retired due to a blown-out knee. She's bitter, dejected, and not sure of what to do with the rest of her life. Money isn't a consideration. A large salary plus product endorsements have left her quite well off. But Kate needs to do something-something meaningful.

She's been offered a coaching job at a women's college in Fond du Lac, but Kate is unsure-both about wanting to coach and about wanting to subject herself to the Wisconsin winters.

Kehough's Irish Pub in Nashville, Tennessee, with its upstairs apartment, is home to Kate, and the pub itself provides employment for her brother Seamus and his wife Mary Grace. It also, indirectly, provides a solution to her search for something to do with her life.
