In the aftermath of Americas war with Spain over Cuba and the Philippines, eighteen year-old Rose O’Neill leaves her beloved Aran Islands and boards a steamer for New York City in search of the Yank soldier who swore to marry her.

To survive, she must ford through Lower East Side tenements and sweatshops, Fifth Avenue mansions and tony hotelstangling with Tammany Hall for the soul of the man with whom her fate is inextricably linked while fighting her feelings for the first love who still holds her heart. Just as she begins to make peace with the past, the Great War erupts in Europe, threatening to topple the dynasty for which she has sacrificed so much.
