This is an account of the challenges confronting twelve members of Irish families migrating to New York around the time of the Irish War for Independence. It describes the sacrifices they made in starting and the bottom, rallying one another, beginning again, and forgiving harm done. It shows how they drew support from all over: an IRA spy, a Bronx beauty queen, a homeless woman on a Catholic Worker House food line, an alcoholic Montenegrin nun who is a college president, a seminarian who refused to break the grave diggers' strike, the Travelers roaming the southern states, the police lieutenant apprehending rogue cops, the Brooklyn high school principal who seeks psychotherapy after a local church pickets her school, and the gay sculptor who becomes her confidant
