Why this story
Each of my grandparents left Ireland seeking a future they could not find at home.
Their journey is not unique.
Across generations and across the world, families have left behind everything they knew in search of safety, opportunity, freedom, peace, and belonging.
Some stories were remembered.
Others were forgotten.
The Triskele Trilogy began as an effort to understand where we came from.
It became a story about belonging, resilience, memory, and the ties that connect us across time and distance.

The Triskele
The triskele is a timeless Celtic symbol formed by three interconnected spirals. For centuries it has represented motion, continuity, and the enduring connection between past, present, and future.
