Juliet Cardinal's novel, An Irish Volunteer (Salthill Press), is based on the true stories of Joe Plunkett and Grace Gifford. Joe is an eccentric, mystical poet and the Catholic son of a count. He joins a secret rebel organization of writers, professors, philosophers, and activists in a revolution against the British Empire. Theirs is a desperate bid for Ireland's freedom in 1916. Joe's friend Grace is a Dublin artist and a Protestant. During the months leading up to the rising, their friendship grows into love, and they plan their life together after the uprising. Grace risks losing her family as she is drawn into Joe's world of Catholicism and extremist rebellion. Joe goes into battle caught between his obligation to sacrifice everything for his country and his desire to stay alive and share his life with Grace.
