The Cowboy From Tipperary

 While on a trail drive to Sedalia, a young wastrel’s life is changed forever…

 About The Book: Padraig is the black sheep of the McCoy clan. Until now, his father’s money has always bought him out of scrapes...but at last the boy in a man’s clothing goes too far and finds himself a remittance man, paid by his father to leave home and never come back.

After boarding a ship to America, the ne’er-do-well Padraig doesn’t stop traveling until he comes to the Great Plains of Nebraska. Finding a rancher willing to take a chance on a young greenhorn who knows nothing about cattle, Padraig sets out to become a cowboy—and succeeds--until Fate deals him a different set of cards.

Our Review: We’ve said it before, no one creates family sagas—no matter the setting like Toni V. Sweeney. Over a course of several years, readers are treated to watching Padraig McCoy’s maturation from a spoiled, self-absorbed wastrel to a honorable, hardworking man who quite naturally put others before himself.

Perhaps the most touching line in the book is when Padraig, thinking of his father, muses, “Ya’ didn’t fail, Da. Ya’ just had ta’ get me to the proper place for me to succeed.”

And, after all, doesn’t that say it all for any of us? 

 On a scale of 1-5, The Cowboy from Tipperary deserves a 6.
