Some said it was the groaning of the wind. Some said it was the moaning of the pipes rising from the ring forts, great warrior chiefs rising to do battle for their daughters and sons.
Soon they knew.
It was not the wind. Not the pipes. Rather, it was the keening of starving women and wails of desperation wrenched from the empty guts of farmers.
How could this be when the crop looked so good?
Life hung in the balance; yet, right there, victorious, grew love and faith and the will to live.
Refreshed Anniversary Edition 2025, Tears My Only Bread is Book Two of Four in an epic Irish saga based upon the author's family history in 19th Century Ireland.A cloud has settled over Ireland in My Tears My Only Bread. The years of 1845-1850 are etched in the hearts of the Irish like a bare branch against the moon. The family we met in Book One enters into this cloud, unsuspecting, unknowing and filled with hope that somehow, they will be spared.
Tom and Meg Phalen and their children continue the story based on the life of the author's maternal ancestors, Irish peasant Michael Maloney and the aristocratic Margaret Webb. My Tears My Only Bread is the second book in the series to tell their story, to carry their voice into our time and to bear witness to their truth and the essence of their lives.
Like A Tent For The Sun, My Tears My Only Bread is a universal story. Characters, good and evil, sober and hilariously funny, fill the pages. Deep love, courage, faith, and fearless daring will carry these characters through adventure, intrigue, and heartbreak.
