Now & Then (2009)

Her 21st Century skills pale as she struggles to find her nephew in 1844 Ireland. For one of them, the past is filled with privilege. For the other, the past is brutally difficult, filled with hunger and struggle. Will every choice that they make reverberate through time? And do Irish wolfhounds carry the souls of the ancient Celts?

Lost & Found (2007)
Rocky's husband was just forty-two when she discovered him lying cold and lifeless, and her world changed forever. Haunted by guilt, she quits her job, chops off her hair and heads for a place where no one know her, on Peaks Island off the coast of Maine. She leaves her job as a psychologist behind and becomes an animal control warden. She saves a wounded black lab and is determined to uncover the mystery of his nearly fatal injury.

Truth (2003)
Based on the life of Sojourner Truth.

Truth reads like a fast-paced poetic memoir, telling the tale of the abolitionist heroine with innocence and accuracy. Sheehan imagines the interior life of Sojourner Truth, reaching beyond the heroine’s social and political persona to create a searing novel that infuses the historical atrocities of the 1800’s with the psychological speculation of who Sojourner really was.
