It is 1878, and Jeremiah and Matilda Dunniff are broke. After the
linen industry crumbles, the young Irish couple realizes they have
no way to make money. With an eviction notice hanging over their
heads, they decide to immigrate to America with hopes of creating a
better life. They are unaware that, across the Atlantic, more
hardship awaits. When the Dunniff family arrives in New York City,
they are forced to move into the tenements, where Jeremiah soon
recognizes that the streets in America are not paved with gold. As
he becomes angry and turns to the bottle for comfort, Matilda
discovers she is pregnant with another child, whom she later names
Rose. Unfortunately, Jeremiah is on a path of self-destruction;
after Rose enters sixth grade, he dies from alcoholism. Rose,
forced to grow up much sooner than normal, falls in love with the
theater and begins acting. As Rose begins her own journey through
life, it soon becomes evident that each generation born will turn
to the previous one for guidance-an act that strengthens the
Dunniff family bond forever. Generations of Love is a compelling
tale that follows three generations through love, loss, pain,
sorrow, and joy as each family attempts to survive all of life's
challenges.
