Briarhill to Brooklyn is a heart-wrenching yet inspiring tale of an Irish family's journey from famine-stricken Ireland to the promise of freedom and opportunity in America.

Follow the Bodkin siblings as they face unimaginable hardships on their perilous crossing, including the threat of typhus and the loss of loved ones.

But their resilience and determination ultimately lead them to a new life in Brooklyn, where they must confront yet another challenge: the "fever" that threatens to take their lives.

With its fast-paced narrative and vivid descriptions of life on both sides of the Atlantic, Briarhill to Brooklyn is a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction, Irish culture, or the American Dream.
