- Synopsis
- They left their homeland's during the worst moment's in history - and arrived in America ready to reach for their dreams. These are their stories. . . Dear Ma, Patrick and I are finally in Boston! Would you believe our trip took a whole six weeks? One night there was an awful storm, and the boat was rocking so hard that we fell off our bunks. I was so scared, but I just prayed and thanked God that my brother was with me. We haven't found your cousins yet. We've asked all their neighbors where they might be, but no one knows anything. Don't worry, though - we're getting used to being on our own. I've even made a new friend! Her name is Peggy, and she's from Ireland too. I think of you and Da and the wee ones every day. Just think, Ma, soon we'll all be together again. . . Love, Fiona
