The second installment in the family saga of Rose Sullivan, who immigrates to America in 1880 after falling in love with a mysterious Irishman named Sean, a man with a dark secret in his past. It's a story of love and loss, bootleg liquor, the birth of the movie industry, a true love overlooked, a secret in a locked steamer trunk, and the tumult of the 1920s in America. Rose endures many trials because of her charming but haunted husband. Sean, who changes his name to Peter and then James, has a restless energy that keeps him always looking for the next big score, and that usually gets him into trouble. The Rose Of Skibbereen series shows the ripple effect of emotions like love and anger, and how so many lives can be affected by a chance encounter. Meet characters you'll grow to love as they deal with love, loss, tragedy, joy, and the tumult of the 20th century.
