Beautiful and profoundly moving, Irish Crossings is a voyage of love, partings and new beginnings in the time of the Irish Potato Famine. Michael flees Ireland during the horror and heartbreak of the Great Hunger. Like one million other Irish, he journeys across the treacherous North Atlantic Ocean in search of a better life. He rejoins Paddy and Caitlin and together they travel across America. The young immigrants witness the rebirth of the Irish in a foreign land that is now their home.
