Mahoney is a family saga that follows the lives of three generations of fathers and sons.

Thus starts an epic journey that will take him and his descendants through one hundred and fourteen years of American history, including the Civil War, the Wild West, and the Great Depression. After surviving disease and storms at sea that decimate crew and passengers alike, Devin’s ship limps into New York Harbor three days before Christmas, 1849. His only hope of survival is to get to America, the land of milk and honey. In the second year of An Gorta Mhór-the Great Famine-nineteen-year-old Devin Mahoney lies on the dirt floor of his small, dark cabin. Michael Gear will enjoy this riveting, historically accurate tale of adventure, endurance, and hope. From the first page to the last, fans of Edward Rutherford and W. In this compelling, richly researched novel, author Andrew Joyce tells a story of determination and grit as the Mahoney clan fights to gain a foothold in America. The first book today set in Ireland and the mid 1850s in America is Mahoney by Andrew Joyce – a book that I can highly recommend.
