Fiercely Loyal
Forged in a harsh New York orphanage, Sean and Colleen Callaghan grow up with nothing to hold onto but each other. Sean rises from petty thief to Prohibition bootlegger to powerful waterfront dock boss, while Colleen turns a speakeasy into an upscale restaurant serving the city’s elite, its politicians, and her brother’s dangerous associates.
Spanning the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, Prohibition, and the shadow of a coming war, it is a story peopled with gangsters, waterfront toughs, Nazi spies, and crooked cops — New York at its most raw and alive.
Then Sean is betrayed by the woman he loves, falsely accused of murder, and found guilty. The siblings’ unbreakable bond faces its ultimate test — and everything they built hangs in the balance. Drawn from the true lives of the authors’ own mother and uncle.

Reader Reviews
“Loved it. Great story and storytelling. By the end I was rooting for the criminal and his sister and am awaiting more on this saga! Definitely a GOOD READ.”
“Fun to read with many historical references. An action packed book that takes you from the Great Depression, to an orphanage filled with mean spirited nuns, through the Spanish flu, prohibition, NYC, Sing Sing prison, rural New England and includes lots of colorful characters along the way. Highly recommended.”
“A sweeping, character-driven saga that brilliantly captures both the grit and glamour of New York City in the first half of the 20th century… a compelling family drama that grips you from the first page to the last.”
