Description
JOURNEYS is the saga of the McCullough’s – Eamon, Maureen and their son Sean- circa 1850. After suffering for years through The Great Hunger in Ireland, the family is shipped out with other dispossessed tenant farmers on a “coffin” ship to pre-Civil War America. They endure a horrendous ocean crossing, find shelter in Mrs. O’Rourke’s tenement in infamous Five Points, and escape deplorable conditions when their landlady moves them all to a farm in Upper Manhattan where Sean meets the love of his life. When war erupts between the states, Sean is faced with two major hurdles: his wish to volunteer for the Union Army and his intention to marry out of his faith. Confrontation with his parents on both counts determines his actions. JOURNEYS is replete with adventure, romance and suspense as it chronicles the lives and times of people caught up in one of the most tumultuous eras in our history.
