Meghann McCarthy loses her parents as a young girl during a
horrific bombing of Cupar Street caused by the fighting
between the British and the Irish. Both of her staunch
Catholic Irish parents were burned to a crisp and Meghann is
saved by a young man, Michael Devlin. Taking
her home to his mother, Annie, she is protected and grows up
trying to distance herself from the upheaval of constant
fighting surrounding the six counties of Northern Ireland.
Being desperately in love with Michael, she does not condone
his activities in the Irish Republican Army, where
he becomes a much respected leader of men and known for his
good heart. Gifted, he publishes volumes of poetry, novels
and many essays. Meggie runs from the violence, attending
college and becoming a brilliant barrister in London.
Marrying Lord Sutton gives her the respect she deserves and
part ownership in his law firm upon his death.
Fifteen years later Annie summons Meggie home to defend
Michael accused of murdering a famous political figure.
Michael is beaten and framed for the murder and thrown in
Long Kesh Prison as a political prisoner. Meggie has not
lost her love for Michael and leaves no stones unturned to
prove his innocence. This is not done by herself, as she
has her own guardian angel, Nuala, who helps her along the
way. Following Nuala's life of a woman living 400 years
ago through her dreams, brings some revelations to Meghann
as she nears the end of her fight for Michael's life.
Everything that was once important to Meghann comes into view.
IRISH LADY is an extreme soul searching tale of the fight
a woman endures through heartbreak and war to achieve the
lost love of her childhood. The insights of the upheaval of
the beautiful country of Ireland and its devoted families,
brings to light the horrendous atrocities
they were forced to endure in protecting their beloved
country. IRISH LADY is filled with a fierce and devoted love
of two people and their struggle for what they believe in.
Meghann McCarthy escaped the slums of Belfast to become a
rich, successful attorney in London. Yet she can never quite
banish Ireland from her heart, or forget Michael Devlin, the
boy she once loved with a passion that nearly tore her apart.
When Michael, a notorious Irish nationalist, becomes
involved in a vicious court case, Meghann agrees to defend
him. But even as she jeopardizes her hard-won success, she
finds the true power and spirit of the Irish heritage she
has too long denied...and the courage to face her love for
Michael.
