On the High Seas an Irish Odyssey

by Lincoln Beals, Nancy Beals MMJC (Editor), Sr. Julie Stephens MMJC (Illustrator)

Overview

After being driven from their farms, their homes and their beloved Ireland by draconian laws imposed by the English Crown, religious persecution and failure of their potato crops, these fictitious Irish families face one challenge after another, during the voyage, demonstrating their resiliency, willingness to make a new start and their deep faith as they travel by sailing ship through storms and unhealthy conditions aboard ship from the port of Derry in the north of Ireland to America in the fall of 1851.
A spy of the Crown threatens to make a bad trip even worse.
Guardian angels watch over them and offer support and guidance.
