Generations

Based on the life of West Texas pioneer J.D. "Big John" Sanders, Generations is a celebration of Irish heritage, a story of indomitable spirit and unfailing vision, and of relentless pursuit of the American dream. After a whirlwind romance with the formidable Nora Brooks, Big John forges a cattle town in the rugged West Texas frontier during World War I. Thirty years later, Marion Kidd Sanders journeys to New York in pursuit of fame and fortune — and brings the family name to new heights. A historical family saga that spans a millennia, Generations takes you deep into the lives of one family, from their beginnings in medieval Ireland, through to Boston, Texas and modern-day New York. ★★★★★ - "I recommend Generations to anyone interested in Irish history and epic family tales. A beautiful story of heartbreak and perseverance." ★★★★★ - "Grand, ambitious storytelling all the way. A crisp, well-researched and well-edited read." ★★★★★ - "A must-read slice of Irish-American history."
