Hanorah Martley was like any other poor girl in Ireland in the
1880s. Her dream was to one day see America, raise a family, and
have the basic necessities of life-food, shelter, and clothes. In
that environment, she would provide love in abundance. She went on
to survive, having six children and living on a prosperous farm in
the United States.
In "Orphan among the Irish: Hanorah's Story," Hanorah's
great-grandson, author Paul Brown, describes her physical and
emotional journey across the decades. Brown recounts the family's
history from the humblest of beginnings. Hanorah grew up in the
midst of poverty and famine in Ireland, a nation that was still
suffering from the effects of the great potato famine. She watched
as her family perished one by one. This biography tells how she
overcame the challenges and became a pillar for future
generations.
Telling the personal story of Hanorah and her zest for life,
"Orphan among the Irish: Hanorah's Story" pays tribute to the hardy
Irish immigrants who found their way to America to realize a better
life.
