Legend tells us Dominica was the daughter of an Irish King who came up the Tamar river with her brother in AD 689 and created a religious settlement on its bank, in this small corner of Cornwall. The question is: What could this woman have possibly done to not only be acclaimed as a saint, but then be kept in mind for over 550 years so much so that, in October 1259, their new stone-built parish church was dedicated to her? A Celtic saint for this place alone. What did she do? A novel - inspired by Saint Dominica of Cornwall Ann Foweraker is best known as a contemporary novelist. However, to write this historical novel, she was drawn back to the 7th century by the enigmatic patron saint of the 13th century Parish church in St. Dominick, where she lives. Ann weaves a plausible tale of the life of Saint Dominica, set into the fabric of early medieval conditions and threaded with threats, trials and triumphs.
