Johanna Cashman and John McCarthy, along with over a million others, immigrated to America to escape a devastating famine. They left behind family members who faced starvation to come to a land that would give them a new opportunity for a good life. They were soon made aware that they were not welcome in this new land and that every day would present a new struggle for survival. Johanna and John got married, determined to raise a family in their adopted country. In spite of all the obstacles they encountered, including John's untimely death, the family grew and found success. The second generation used their success to lend assistance to the country their parents were forced to leave in Ireland's drive for independence from its oppressor. This historical novel brings the reader through the heartwarming story of a family that overcomes adversity to thrive in America. At the same time, it details the movement in the country they left to find its own independent place in the world.

Patrick: The Irish Immigrant is the story of a determined Irish lad who dreamed of a better life of opportunities in America. By the age of seventeen, Patrick J. O'Shea had saved enough money to buy passage to the United States. Upon his arrival in New York City, Patrick used his ambition and determination, mixed with a dash of Irish malarkey, to set himself up with a job and a new life. This recipe served him well throughout his adventures that led him from New York City to the Territory of Hawaii and throughout the world. Along the way, Patrick married the love of his life, Arabell. Together they raised their family against the backdrop of World War II and other life-changing historical events. Patrick's life story is the universal story of many immigrants to the United States of America. He came, he prospered, and he proudly became a U.S. citizen. Patrick wanted his story told to encourage others to persevere despite obstacles and setbacks, to do one's best at any task, and to always conduct oneself with honor and dignity.

This is a story of Irish and Scottish Immigrants who came to America in the 1920's. It is a condensed version of Robert and Maggie Robertson Laird's story. My grandparents were Irish and Scottish Immigrants who came to America so that their children and grandchildren could have a better life. It's a love story: love of each other and love of the Father. It's a story of faith. It's a story of survival and how faith played a role in their lives when tragedy struck unexpectedly. This book is non-fiction, but fiction was used to flesh out gaps and fill in the story blanks where character was known but specifics were not. Accounts are derived from the retelling of the story by family members, a video vignette of my mother sharing historical accounts and me piecing everything else together, including ship manifests and immigration records. So, sit back, grab a cup of coffee, or a stout cup of Irish tea, and travel back to the twenties on a rainy or sunny afternoon. If you have a similar family story, I hope you will be inspired. And I hope it will serve as a reminder of the sacrifices that those who have gone before us have made. Learn how Maggie and her family journeyed from Ireland and Scotland to America in the roaring twenties.

Unintended Consequences reveals how America’s door closed on legal Irish immigration in the 1960s, and how America’s Irish mounted a counterattack when nation-changing political forces were sweeping the country during the era of civil rights, political assassinations, and the Vietnam War. This book looks at the full historical background to Irish migration across the Atlantic, how it helped shape the young republic, and how the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 brought a near total halt to this westward flow. Nevertheless, the Irish would not be denied and continued to make the journey, no longer into the light of a full and legal American life, but rather into the shadows of an undocumented existence. Successive organisations championed the undocumented Irish, and the fight continues to this day, but this is a new America, where, in recent years, there has been growing hostility to immigrants of every nationality. Ray O’Hanlon has spent over three decades reporting on battles over comprehensive U.S. immigration reform, and Unintended Consequences is the story of the Irish past, its present, and most uncertain future in the ‘land of the free,’ now in the presidency of Joe Biden, a man who fully embraces his Irish immigrant family story. Through Biden, the great Irish of America story continues, and with renewed hope.

Born in Tipperary, Ireland at the end of the great famine, Richard T. Kennedy was the eighth child in a country family that survived the tragedies of the time. At the age of 15, he began saving letters written to him, and throughout his lifetime he stashed away a total of 52. ?These letters, as well as family records and lore, are the backbone of this book that chronicles his life story. The letters are a language of feeling; the living voice of the writer is present and transmits a certain energy. ?A story emerges from the letters which span almost 60 years. Beginning with his teenage years in Ireland, the narrative traces Richard’s path of emigration and discovery of new life in North America. ?It follows his career and home life in the San Francisco Bay Area, his travels and family events. ?The book also tracks the stories of his brothers. ?The eldest, Michael, immigrated to Australia with his young bride, opened his own retail store, survived the depression and relocated to Perth with his wife and nine children. ?The middle brother, Thomas, was an Irish farmer engaged in the extraordinary events of the late 1800s; he raised his five children on the family farm in Tipperary. ?Their letters crossed thousands of miles to keep faraway siblings up to date about family and local news, but also to give direction to life and reinforce family tradition and upbringing. ?The writers describe not just relationships to place but also relationships with each other; they tell us what they found and what they lost. ? Taking account of the political climate of their time and the particular challenges each one faced, Dear Richard shows how each brother navigated his own life course from humble beginnings to unimagined destinies. ?The character and accomplishments of each one are revealed, these sons of Eire who never lost their Irish soul, as well as the preeminence of family in Gaelic culture. ?To this day the letters nourish their descendents, connected again through this story.
