Orphan Among The Irish: Hanorah's Story

Hanorah was a young Irish girl, like any other poor Irish girl in the 1880's Ireland. The family still suffered through the years, from the effects of the great potato famine, 'an gorta mor', just as many others in the country. Hardships plagued the young Hanorah, as one by one she witnessed her family perish. Hanorah's zest for life landed her on the shores of America of her dreams, where she somehow survived by going from restaurant work, convent life, house cleaning, marriage, motherhood. This is Hannorah's story, orphan among the Irish.
