You will experience the injustice of British rule and taste the potato famine. You will accompany a young boy to the Americas in 1847. You will feel the bitter cold of Northeast winters and the warmth of a loving family. You will share the joys and sorrows of that family as they live and grow at the turn of the 20th century.
