The Ring of the Piper's Tune (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781440174780)

"I enjoyed The Ring of the Piper's Tune immensely and truly regret that it came to an end. Austin Dwyer has done a magnificent job in weaving a completely credible family saga into a fabric of events and characters like J. Edgar Hoover and Joe Kennedy."
- Rorke Bryan, Professor, Fellow Emeritus, Writer and Past Dean of Faculty, Toronto University

"Dwyer's knowledge of passion and persistence spins out in language as musical as the Irish tones that hum in the streets and parlors of Dublin. Astute readers will not be wrong to think of Pierre Bezukhov and Natasha Rostov."
-Dennis Peters, Professor of Humanities Emeritus, Shoreline Community College

"Early in reading Austin Dwyer's novel, I could visualize Kathleen Barrett as a young woman who would stand her ground until she prevailed. She would bring happiness to the man who either readily yielded to her to keep the peace or brought a dominant power through strong character. In the course of this story, her strengths are tested in relationships with William Hamilton, who first meets her during the Irish rebellion in 1916, and Ryan Thornton, who in first seeing her pass in a car in Boston begins shaping strategies to meet her."
-Denzil Walters, Editor, Teacher and Writer
