The Blacksmith Legacy

Opening in the 1800s, this is a family story spanning over one hundred years and three generations. Two brothers, Johnny and Patrick, grew in opposite directions. One chooses the traditional rewards of marriage, family and farm, while the other seeks adventure. The scene moves from the gentle rolling farmland of County Cavan to the rugged ocean cliffs of Kerry and a man named Michael. Eventually, the plot takes the reader to New York City where the three men are impacted by Mollie, a determined fifteen-year-old. It is a story of family struggle, triumphs and sad farewells.
