Rose Of Skibbereen: Book One

By John McDonnell

Book Overview

He kissed her at a farewell party...

...the night before she left Ireland for good.

Now he's here in Philadelphia with a different name.

Rose Sullivan left her home in County Cork in 1880 for a job in Philadelphia as a servant to a wealthy family. She planned to send her wages to her desperately poor family in Ireland, but when the handsome man who kissed her back home appears, everything changes.

Why has he changed his name from Sean McCarthy to Peter Morley?

Why won't he talk about his past?

And why is she falling so desperately in love with him?

This epic historical tale, which spans generations, starts with Rose and Sean (Peter) and examines the struggles of one Irish family as they deal with discrimination, poverty, and hardship.

And the price of secrets.

Based on a true story.

You'll adore this historical series because the emotional backdrop of love, loss, tragedy, joy, and tumult in the 20th century keeps you turning the pages. It's a sweeping family saga that follows Rose Sullivan and her descendants through the generations.
