This Just In… Passion and Principle by Patricia McLaine

This is the story of Mary Margaret Kathleen Kelly O'Reilly, a young Pagan Catholic born with a veil (second sight) in Dingle, Ireland in 1798. 

This romantic historical tale begins in an Ireland still under British rule, with the oppression of Roman Catholics, and great bitterness among the Irish people, who desire most of all freedom from the British Crown. At a young age, Maggie finds herself torn between her passion for a young smuggler and a handsome soldier of the Crown. The story is rich in the history and drama of the Ireland, Europe and America between 1798 and 1871.
