Fifteen years previously, although intended for the priesthood, he was cynically seduced by the American wife of his cousin, fathered a baby girl and was forced to leave the seminary. His brothers are engaged to the daughters (both pregnant) of local matriarch and supermarket propriator, Mollie Cronane, and when their weddings are announced, the Ram makes plans to resume his religious education in a seminary in Southern California. But his plans are overtaken by events when disaster strikes. Mollie is determined to secure the farm and suddenly, it is the Ram of God alone who stands in the way of her happiness Ill even the score with the Ram of God and hell rue the day he crossed swords with Mollie Cronane.A High Meadow is full of comedy, tragedy and melodrama, all centred around the village of Ballybobawn.

About this title

Synopsis:

Mollie's face clouded as it always did whenever she thought of the Ram of God. She was careful not to show her annoyance. The more she considered their relationship, the more her fury mounted. Somehow, in the course of time, she would bring him down. There was no doubt about that in her mind.
