"For the impoverished of 1800s Ireland, life on the Fifteen Streets is a prison of sorts. For no matter how hard each of them works, no one escapes. The eldest son in an ever-expanding family, John O'Brien, unlike his brooding father, carries the burden of his loved ones on his strong shoulders--and their cares in his breaking heart.
