Sweethearts since childhood, Ellie Hogan and her husband, John,
are content on their farm in Ireland--until John, a soldier for the
Irish Republican Army, receives an injury that leaves him unable to
work. Forced to take drastic measures in order to survive, Ellie
does what so many Irish women in the 1920s have done and sails
across a vast ocean to New York City to work as a maid for a
wealthy socialite.
Once there, Ellie is introduced to a world of opulence and
sophistication, tempted by the allure of grand parties and fine
clothes, money and mansions . . . and by the attentions of a
charming suitor who can give her everything. Yet her heart remains
with her husband back home. And now she faces the most difficult
choice she will ever have to make: a new life in a new country full
of hope and promise, or return to a life of cruel poverty . . . and
love.
