The Dolan Brothers series follows an Irish-American family across nine novels, from Ribbon in the Sky (1991) through River Rising (2004). Each book focuses on a different member of the Dolan family as they build lives and find love in various American settings during the late 1800s and early 1900s.
This series overlaps with Garlock’s Jazz Age books, sharing several titles. The interconnected nature of her series means that readers who follow one family will encounter characters from her other books. The Dolan Brothers series is a good example of how Garlock built an extended fictional world across dozens of novels.
