New Book Titled Ascendancy Author by Patrick Earl Dwyer

LOS ANGELES - Aug. 24, 2022 - PRLog -- In author Patrick Earl Dwyer's Ascendancy, the author decides to take readers on a journey into the lives of two families over the course of a century. Featuring two families who first meet in Ireland and soon after in the United States, the narrative focuses on how these immigrant families get caught up and involved in some of history's most important societal issues and historical figures, including the fight against tyranny, the tragedy of slavery, religious overtones, and American Expansion to the west of the nation.

"The author did an incredible job of finding just the right balance between non-fiction history

and the infusion of family history, and the literary fiction liberties that kept the narrative flowing smoothly and readers invested."  ~ Hollywood Book Reviews

When asked what was your inspiration for writing this story during a recent interview, the author replied, "I was asked to write about the family heritage story in my youth. I always admired heritage stories from patients in my medical practice. I recognized a common thread and when my daughters asked to know more the spark occurred and the fire was lit."

"There are many take-aways from this true story," the author continued.  "Certainly, the spirituality that is a necessary ingredient for success is something to point to but the struggle for liberty, freedom, justice, equality, and humanity to name a few goals are worthy topics to describe and share with readers who may be looking for insights and answers in their Twenty-first Century lives. Also, everything worthwhile in this world requires effort and that catch-phrase is reflected in this novel."
