A family quest leads a young man to Ireland, where the truth awaits.
An Irish Miracle is the story of Dillon and Alastar Connolly, young men separated by two generations and searching for their places in the world. From an Ohio farm to western Ireland and from the 1940s to present day, their journeys take them through peaceful countryside and personal challenges. The paths of the two young men cross in surprising and touching ways, never far from the land and the horses they love.
This 400+ page work of fiction is my first full-length novel. It was inspired by a dream I had a few days after my only son graduated from college, accepted a job offer and moved across the country. To take this first step with my best foot forward, An Irish Miracle has been professionally edited by Robin Martin of Two Songbirds Press.
Please visit the An Irish Miracle website to read excerpts from the book, see photographs of Ohio farmers and the Irish countryside, and peruse posts about its characters, main themes and thoughts behind the story.
My next novel will continue to follow Dillon Connolly’s story as he struggles to make a life for himself in a place where he and his dog aren’t exactly welcomed with open arms. Far from it, except for a girl . . . or two.
Enticing writing that makes me want to read more to find out what comes next. I am proud to know someone who writes so well. The scenes are so well set it makes me wonder how much is truth and how much is imagination.
Thanks for your very kind words, Eddie. The settings are mostly true and the stories are mostly imagination.
