Searchers - Stephen Archer Finlay

The Irish Clans is the first novel in an eight-book saga that begins with a travesty at sea necessitating searches for life's true treasures, both in 1915 Ireland, when the funeral of O'Donovan Rossa affords golden opportunity to fan the flames of revolution, and in America, for transplanted Irish families connected to the world of the Irish Clans. Three characters are guided by Divine synchronicity and grapple with destiny--Claire, a spunky young Irish woman, adrift with amnesia and near death, may unwittingly be the key to unlocking an ancient clans mystery. Tadgh McCarthy, a young Irish rebel sea captain, confronted by a calamity at sea, makes a life and death decision that will reinvent his future--to carry out his predestined mission in the revolution and to validate his birthright as Clan Chieftain. Collin O'Donnell, a beleaguered young Canadian, riddled with guilt over the death of his parents and loss of his sister, must make a crucial decision that may cost him the love of his life.
