Book One: The Advent
Forbidden love and dark secrets haunt two Irish families hacking out
a new life in 19th-century America. When Molly Larkin's father
discovers her affair with lighthouse keeper Colm Sullivan, his
reaction pitches her into madness. Yet the legacy forges a bond of
blood that will endure for generations...
The
Collective Obsessions Saga begins in 1865 when John Larkin emigrates from Ireland
to America and settles his self-named township in Maine. John builds
a wealthy empire and grand estate, becoming one of the richest merchants
on the Eastern Seaboard.
Hiding behind the wealth and social position are
quirky English servants, the effervescent family chef Claude
Mondoux, John's paranoid-alcoholic wife Anne, their steadfast son Roderick
and their mercurial daughter Mary Margaret, also affectionately
known as Molly.
In The Advent, Molly falls in
love with lighthouse keeper Colm Sullivan, which brings shame and
tragedy upon her family. Although cloaked in secrecy and madness,
the love affair establishes a connection between their families that
will endure for generations.
The Advent is the first book in
the Collective Obsessions Saga.
The novel was previously published as Passion Forsaken by
Club Lighthouse and Tyborne Hill.
