Description

1848: Born a scrawny infant on board the Handsome Lad, America Nall O'Halloran learns from her first breath that life is difficult. For her it will never be easy. Prematurely born into a family where she is the fifth child to a hard-working Irish family, her father is killed within a week after landing in America. Her mother, Maura Scota Kenmare-O'Halloran is left penniless on the streets of NYC where the Irish are barely one notch above the Black man in status. But Maura refuses to buckle under, and gets a job as a domestic servant, taking the children with her. Later, she is gifted with an unexpected inheritance from her employer, and from then on, the face of life changes for the family. Maura remarries, moves into the employer's house, and almost immediately runaway slaves start showing up in droves. Maura knows it is morally indecent to own another human being, and being Irish, she herself has been the subject of blatant discrimination. Now she is risking her neck, literally, with each slave she takes in. When The Civil War breaks out after years of sparring and bluffing back and forth, America cuts off her hair and becomes a soldier boy. Now wearing a Union uniform, Anaal learns to fight and kill like a man, but her only goal is to free the slaves, from The Scarboro Plantation in Tennessee, home of the infamous cigar box brought to her mother when she was born. Now is it her motive.
