Pure and Tarnished Hearts

The silent ringing of a cracked bell summons young Irish immigrants, called the "Celtic Warriors," to the City of Brotherly Love. Enter a world of a very different America and yet similar in many ways to the present day. The saga continues as Father Thomas O'Malley leads his flock of immigrants to a new life in a new land. Join James Shields, the Hero of Inishbofin, Aengus O'Flaherty, the fisherman from Inishmor and Meghan O'Grady, of Doonagore Castle, as they become part of a new singing sensation proclaimed as the Bards of New York City. Despite secret societies, a political movement called the "Know-Nothings," arson, riots and murder, The "Celtic Warriors" respond to the call of the bell. Their journey will touch your heart and thrill your very soul as they use pen and song to bring down the walls of hatred and intolerance while bringing to life the spirit of the Founding Fathers words of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
