Synopsis

Awarded Best Historical Novel of 2023 by Bookfest. How does an impoverished and illiterate Irish Catholic immigrant rise from abject poverty and discrimination in mid-19th Century America to become America’s boxing champion, a millionaire gambling entrepreneur, a twice-elected member of the United States Congress, and a twice-elected member of the New York State Senate?

The accomplishments of John Morrissey (1831-1878) are well-documented. What’s missing is how? Certainly, luck, timing, resolve, and intelligence played key roles. Still, there was something else, something more powerful. That was the unlikely marriage to a young woman from a respected Protestant family, a recent graduate of Emma Willard’s Troy Female Seminary, and a person with driving ambitions as powerful as her husband’s. She would make all the difference in their Ambitions and success.

In Ambitions: Volume II of this three-novel series, the author continues the story about the love between Susannah Morrissey and John Morrissey. Her love and guidance push John to a new level of success by teaching him moderation, education, and purpose. Her ambitions play a critical role in this extraordinary story of love, struggle, perseverance, and triumph.
