A Few Men Faithful is the first of four Kavanagh stories. It sets the stage, defines the Kavanagh family and tells of a troubled land and an equally troubled romance amid war and treachery. Time span: 1916 to 1924 in Dublin, County Cork and Northern Ireland. Major events: Easter Rising, Secret War, War of Independence, the Civil War. This last is little known and less explored, especially through the eyes of a soldier on the losing side. The main character, Danny Kavanagh, escapes Dublin in 1916 only to become one of the Twelve Apostles, that squad of executioners Michael Collins used to shut the spying eyes in Dublin Castle. As a soldier he is haunted, nearly driven mad, by what he has done, what he cannot do, yet still hold onto that deathless dream of a united Ireland. Only his impossible love for Sophia O'Faolain keeps him sane. He pays the price, finally, as an exile and IRA emissary in Philadelphia. This North American connection is pursued in the next book: Philly MC.

A Few Men Faithful was awarded the Indiependents Seal of quality in September 2013. Scroll to the bottom of this page to view: http://indiependents.org/indie-seal-books-51-69.html.
