Description

Irish immigrant Florence Burke has lived in Massachusetts for more than a decade but he is still a tenant farmer and his circle of relatives lives in near-poverty. He came to The united states for a better life, but finds his adoptive country lower than hospitable. Florence recognizes that owning land is the path to prosperity, but the bank may not grant him a loan and he is running out of options.

An opportunity arises that could make his dreams come true, but it involves great personal risk to both himself and his circle of relatives. He recalls the gamble he took when he fled the Potato Famine in Ireland, and wonders if he could make a gamble on his life one more time? Will his wife and children take note his decision to sign up for the war?

Yours Faithfully, Florence Burke is in response to nineteen original letters from my great, great grandfather to his wife and children. This is a story of one Irish immigrant in one million struggling to make it in The united states at a time when the nation is divided.
