They were the children of an impoverished immigrant who fled the famine in Ireland and of his Irish-American wife. 'An Irish-American Odyssey' is the tale of this first-generation immigrant family's struggle to assimilate into American society, highlighting their perseverance and determination to seize opportunities and surmount obstacles, all the while establishing a legacy for their own descendants in American art, advertising, journalism, and public service."-- Publisher's description.
