NOTES
"Vanguard paperback"--Title page verso
"[This book] follows the harsh and hopeful journey of Irish families who flee poverty in their homeland and sail to New York in search of a better life. Instead, they find a city unprepared to welcome them, where jobs are scarce and prejudice runs deep. Many are pushed into the dirtiest, lowest-paid work-or even desperate acts for survival-earning the Irish an unfair reputation that overshadows their struggle. Amid the hardship, some manage to carve out honest livelihoods, slowly building stability through determination and grit. But just as life begins to settle, the men are called to fight in a brutal war, leaving behind the fragile homes they worked so hard to create. ... Those who survive carry their scars into a new peace, forging a brighter future with the strength born from loss, endurance, and unbroken hope"--Page 4 of cover
