Our story begins leading up to the Easter Rising in Ireland. Seamus O' Suileabhain, having Americanized his name to James Sullivan, escapes to America with an English bounty on his head. Aided and mentored by Anegus O'Boyle, a master of disguise and the most feared man in Ireland and the British Isles. James takes up a life of crime, under the protection of the O' Boyles, who are shielded by politicians at the highest level, including in Center City, Philadelphia. Marriage to Bridget O'Boyle leads to raising a familly in the Irish section of North Philadelphia, known as Swampoodle, where James works for his "American Sponser," Liam Donnelly. And under the guise of a construction foreman, James emerges as one of the most brutal and effective enforcers of the underworld in Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Our novel then focuses on a power shift during the beginning of what would be the boon of Prohibition. This saga plays out with the understanding of James Sullivan's eventual return to Ireland, to settle a personal score with the English Captain, known as, "The Lion". A story of assimilation, crime, loyalty, and the power of an unshakable bond between husband and wife, James and Bridget Sullivan...

A refugee of the Great Famine, Jack Hennessey lands as an infant in Baltimore in 1848. On the death of his mother in 1864, he moves to Washington, DC, finding work at a saloon in Swampoodle, an Irish slum just north of the Capitol. From here, the story picks up in 1936. Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Jack Hennessey is determined that Hennessey Construction, his life's work, will survive for those he leaves behind, most importantly Paddy Riley, a son in all things excepting blood, and his wife and children. There are flashbacks throughout as Jack Hennessey relives his early years, marked most tragically by the death in 1892 of his wife, Christine, and their only child. On travelling in 1893 to Ireland to spend time with Christine's family, he also travels to the place of his own birth. It is here that he meets and uncle and over the course of a summer comes to a grounding that not only reconciles him to his mother's memory, but also to a clear understanding of who he is and where he belongs - an American in America.

“Swampoodle” was a Philadelphia neighborhood where many Irish immigrants settled in the early twentieth century, among them Martin G. McGuinn’s grandparents. McGuinn’s story is very much that of the fulfillment of the American Dream, a proud Irish-American’s story of rising from these modest beginnings to eventually become CEO of one of America’s leading financial institutions. Born in 1942, McGuinn grew up in Princeton, New Jersey , graduated from Villanova’s college and law school, served in the Marine Corps in Viet Nam, and practiced law on Wall Street before joining Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh. He spent 25 years there rising to CEO. This is the story about how he got there, the challenges along the way, and successes and disappointments. It’s a story about how hard work and good fortune can produce success in the corporate world, in an industry and a community that provides a lesson that will resonate with many. It is also a lesson in “giving back,” sharing his good fortune with others through philanthropy and commitment to community.
