Atlanta, Ga. – Follow two Irish sisters through the pages of time as they struggle to overcome life’s obstacles to achieve their dreams in the new novel by Marcie Caudell, Tears to Dublin: The Erin Chronicles (published by AuthorHouse).
Tears to Dublin is a labyrinth of emotion about the growth and transformation of Erin and Bonnie Morgan. It begins in Georgia in the 1890s as the South continues to heal from the devastation of the Civil War. Irish immigrants, meanwhile, are flooding in, searching for a better life and equality in a foreign land.
The young Morgan sisters must say goodbye to their father. As their futures hang in the balance, the girls find themselves thrust into a melting pot of deception and betrayal, and they learn to trust no one. As the years progress, events propel the sisters’ lives into a chaos they may or may not overcome.
While the sisters are bonded by blood and circumstance, they are very different. Bonnie is unfeeling, cold, callous and refuses to allow anyone in. Erin is a survivor, dreamy, poetic, rebellious and very proud of her Irish heritage.
A secret leads young Erin to explode with a fury no one realized she possessed. It is a moment she regrets. As a young woman, Erin finds that she has an independent passion about her beliefs and the confidence to make her life more meaningful, even if the world around her doesn’t agree. She learns that forgiveness may be a remedy, but to forget is impossible. The yearning she feels for the homeland of her parents leads her to a surprising fate.
Marcie Caudell is an advocate for many causes in Ireland and around the world. Tears to Dublin is her first novel, and she is currently working on the next book in The Erin Chronicles.
