Following the brutal deaths of her father and brother, Laura steps off the ship in New York’s harbor in 1898. At 18 years old, she begins her quest to be free from poverty, prejudice, and disease still surrounding her Ireland home. Frightened but determined, she meets her first love.

She then plunges into the shadowed corridors of Wall Street and champions those struggling with suffocating tenement living and the corruption that surround them. With courageous faith and the love of her life, she breaks through “The Street’s” permeating Irish and gender walls to build a life of wealth and redemptive purpose for herself and others.
