It May Be Forever is a nineteenth century tale of adventure and
tragedy, based upon the real-life story of Michael Quinn. To escape
the grinding poverty of Ireland's Great Famine, Michael and his
family flee to England, where at age eight, Michael becomes a child
laborer in a textile mill. As he grows older and more aware of
British prejudice and discrimination, he is motivated to enlist
with the Fenian rebels, a group determined to free Ireland from
British colonial rule. Chronic unemployment, however, drives him to
America, and defeat on the battlefield lands him on the untamed
plains of the Wild West. Faced with unaccustomed opportunity,
Michael quickly abandons the fight against oppression and turns
away from family and friends. Dreams of achieving a great fortune
lead him to support the dispossession of Native Americans of their
lands and livelihood. But after the massacre at Wounded Knee,
demons of conscience rise up in terrible nightmares, and only a
Lakota holy man offers the hope of redemption. decisions of life
can create the most unintended consequences, and how easily a man
of strong convictions may become that which he hates.
