Betrayal. Despair. Murder. Mystery. Romance. Blackmail. “If God be good, Mr. Landon will burn in the eternal flames of hell. If God be bad, he will suffer much worse.”
In 1820, a young woman and her son leave Ireland for a better life in America. She soon suffers heartache and tragedy, while residing with family whom she has never met. Unbeknownst to her, the family had already set her up with employment in a factory–a factory run by a lecherous man.
This is the first book in a series that will follow the McClusky family while they become Americanized while faced with the Potato Famine, the US Civil War, and the Industrial Revolution.

About the Rhoda D’Ettore:
Rhoda D’Ettore was born in Woodbury, New Jersey, into a family of 5 siblings–which has provided her with plenty of comical material. She began working at the United States Postal Service at 25 years old, and over the past 15 years has accumulated many humorous stories about situations that the public never gets to know about. Her first ebook, “Goin’ Postal: True Stories of a U.S. Postal Worker” was so popular that readers requested it in paperback. Recently, she published the humorous “Goin’ Postal” in paperback along with another story entitled, “The Creek: Where Stories of the Past Come Alive”. Combining these two into one book may seem strange, as one is humorous and the other is a heart wrenching historical fiction, however, doing so proves to the reader Rhoda D’Ettore’s versatility.
Rhoda D’Ettore received her degree in Human & Social Services while working at USPS, has travelled extensively, and loves history. Over the years she has volunteered for several community service organizations, including fostering abused and neglected dogs for a Dalmatian rescue.
For more information please visit Rhoda’s website. You can also find her on Facebook and Twitter.

I want to see the factory owner get what’s coming to him.
HAHA! In my stories, you just never know what will happen! I once wrote a beautiful wedding and honeymoon scene with newly weds embroiled in passion—- then BAM! right through the husband’s heart came a bayonet! lol
I’m happy to see I was able to get readers to connect with the characters! 🙂 Thanks for your interest
1820s Ireland and a new life in America sound fascinating.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Enthralling saga. Thanks.
It has all the elements that I believe would make an exciting story.
Sounds like it will be interesting to follow this family through the years. Also think the military family donation is very nice.
This book reminds me of Taylor Caldwell’s “Captain and the Kings”, the saga about Irish immigrant< Joseph Armagh. It was a great book and mini series too!
I didn’t enter the giveaway, but looking over this post again I feel very thankful to have learned of her memoir *Goin’ Postal*…it sounds awesome to me! Thanks, Teddy.
