It is New
York City and the Civil War is brewing. Norah McCabe, an Irish immigrant who
escaped the Famine as a child, is now a young widow with a daughter. She is a
milliner, struggling to survive in tumultuous times. Norah meets Abraham
Lincoln, befriends the extraordinary African-American woman Elizabeth Jennings,
and assists the Underground Railroad. She falls headlong in love with Edward M.
Knox, son of the famous hat-maker Charles Knox, but he is lace curtain Irish
and she is shanty Irish. Edward joins the 69th regiment and leaves for battle.
Can their love endure through class differences and war? This is a story of
survival, intrigue, romance, as well as, exploring the conflict of Irish
immigrants thrust into a war that threatened to destroy a nation. It is about
an Irish-American woman who could be any immigrant today, any woman today,
seeking to create beauty and make sense of her life.
