Joseph suffers from blinding headaches that are sapping his strength and his ability to work to support his two children.

Book Description
The Bog Spell is the story of Joseph McNulty, one of Irelands immigrants to The New World following The Starving Time in mid-nineteenth century Ireland. Historical background is meticulously accurate and the eerie tale against the stark reality is so beautifully conveyed that it is at once shocking, yet sensitive. Joseph is fleeing more than the deprivation of his homeland. Since childhood he has been pursued by the specter of The Bog Spell, an ancient Druid bloodrite that threatens to destroy him along with his young wife, Sarah. Only a supreme act of courage and self-sacrifice can break the power of the spell. For the sake of all that he holds dear, Joseph must find inner courage as his defining moment draws near. This is a hauntingly beautiful love story steeped in Irish mysticism.

Why are there only two titles by this guy? He's terrific!,
This review is from: Bog Spell (Paperback)
To coin a 'commercial phrase', I'm a very choosy reader. I don't buy a book because of its intriguing cover, and I don't buy it because of the back jacket blurb. I buy it if the first page captures my interest. Yup. I stand right there in the bookstore aisle and read page one. The Bog Spell got me a good scolding from the guy behind the counter: "Hey, you gonna buy that book, or you plannin' to read the whole thing, right here?" I bought the book. And I loved every page.
