註釋The Norton Brennan ancestors came of age in a time when Ireland was experiencing a desperate struggle for survival. Enduring privation and severe economic change, many Irish citizens were forced to leave their beloved country to seek better lives elsewhere. Determined to unearth the stories of their Irish heritage, sisters Mary Norton and Helen White delved into the history of their families, from tragedy and loss in Ireland to the achievement of their dreams of a better life in the United States. This narrative is not only an Irish story, but a tale of the 19th century immigrants who built America, brick by brick, and rail by rail. This is a story of courage, determination, and love that sustained the Nortons and Brennans through adventures into the unknown.
