This is a story about the long and traumatic journey of two hard working Irish families at the time of the great famine and potato blight in Ireland in the mid nineteenth century when the country was governed from London and the poor were suffering greatly from starvation and disease. The Doyle and the Gill families both became victims of the arrogant and ignorant son of the local landlord and magistrate and were forced to leave the land of their birth. In different ways they suffered on the first sea leg of their respective journeys to the port of Liverpool in England where they became united. They decided that their eventual destination was Canada and to achieve that dream they had to earn enough money by working for an extended period in Liverpool and industrial Lancashire. Finally, they travelled by sailing ship to Canada. How would they fare? Would their dream eventually come true?
