The Wild Harp — Jacqueline La Tourrette

ROSALEEN...
She was the spirited daughter of a courageous woman who fled with her family from the Irish famine to the hope of America. Rosaleen never forgot the stormy past -- the past in which she huddled with her family on a Boston pier in that winter of 1847.
