War changes everything.
Fresh from Ireland’s green but famine-stricken hills, a young Michael Dougherty is swept into the chaos of the Civil War after escaping to Philadelphia and becoming a proud member of the Irish Dragoons. With dreams of glory and the hope of returning to Biddy Lawless, the girl he leaves behind, Michael faces grueling drills, brutal battles, and the bonds of camaraderie that soldiering brings. But through a journal, we see the doubts, fears, and resilience that mark his journey. War isn’t just about glory. With each skirmish, he faces loss and hardship that threaten to change him forever. Will Michael discover the strength, courage, and sacrifice it takes to fight for a cause greater than himself?
Becoming Michael Dougherty is a powerful coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of one of America’s darkest chapters.
