Schwallie's debut novel, Glimpsing Through Threads, is a story of an Irish immigrant family, made rich not through wealth but through memories. It begins in 1855 as their matriarch leaves Ireland following the potato famine to move to the United States. Opinions, expressions, and language change and evolve with time as the family grows and ages into the 1970s. As the pages turn, the reader is invited to travel alongside them while they make their way through a number of noteworthy days. Personal memories, superstitious beliefs, and accounts of current events of that time in history are brought into the narrative as the story follows each generation's threads and how they connect to each. Are they caught within the confinement of their own time? Or is the essence of their being somehow connected to those who came before and those who are yet to come?
