Róisín Campbell was eighteen when she stepped from a boat in New York Harbor in the summer of 1870. She knew little of the world beyond what she saw in her small town in County Limerick and what she read in the novels she devoured when her chores were done. She knew no one in New York other than her cousin Jimmy Regan and Michael Henry, a dapper gay gentleman she met on board who would become her confidante and advisor.Róisín received training from the Sisters of Mercy andwas hired as a maid in the wealthy house of Charles and Abigail Geherty. Circumstances, including the unwarranted hatred of the oldest daughter, Mary, led to her dismissal from there and from a second fashionable house. Fate intervened, and Róisín found herself as a nurse at a clinic for the Irish poor, and a further bit of fate led her to meet a woman whose name she did not get and who vanished as suddenly as she appeared. Into her new world entered her youngest sister, Sophie, heavy with child, and she became Sophie’s guardian and protector.This is the story at the dawn of the Gilded Age of a young Irishwoman who comes to America with nothing but who finds love there. In the heart of a good woman, and in the soul of an innocent child.
