Description

In 1847, Patrick O'Malley and his family flee the Great Famine of Ireland aboard a coffin ship, seeking a better life in New York City. But the streets of Five Points are just as brutal as the famine they left behind. Forced into grueling labor and swept into the violent underworld of Irish gangs, Patrick struggles to hold onto his dreams of a new beginning. Amidst the chaos, his love for Eliza and his determination to fight for Irish laborers push him toward a different kind of battle—one for justice, unity, and dignity. The Journey of Patrick O'Malley is a gripping historical fiction novel about survival, resilience, and the pursuit of the American dream.
