Reseña del libro "Billy'O: Lost in the Promised Land Book I (en Inglés)"
The five star reader rated Amazon Kindle e-book, Billy'O, Lost in the Promised Land, a four volume Irish emigrant epic is now available in paperback with the issue of Book I. Books II-IV will be available in paperback in the next few months. For all those with some degree of Irish heritage or anyone who has themselves been an immigrant or come from a family that has emigrated to America, this is the ultimate emigrant saga relayed to you in an eyewitness account that is combined with a personal coming of age story of a young teenage immigrant, Billy O'Shea, who survived the Irish famine and faced a multitude of hardships in America after he arrived along with his family at the port of Boston in June of 1847. The four part auto-biography of Billy O'Shea spans 17 years, from the age of thirteen at the time of the Irish Famine in 1846 to the California Gold Rush and through to 1863 and chronicles Billy O'Shea's heroic exploits during the blood stained years of the American Civil War.Book I begins as Billy O'Shea describes in his own words how his family survived after they are evicted from their home during the Great Irish Famine during the winter of 1846-47 while wandering about on the village roads near Kilkenny Ireland. Billy also describes the harrowing experience of the long and perilous journey aboard a cargo ship to Boston in the spring of 1847. Upon arrival in America, Billy becomes estranged from his family and strikes out on his own. He forms a close bond of friendship with an Irish gang leader from Fort Hill named Jason Brody, who soon leads him into trouble and leads him to return to his family. Not long afterward, a family tragedy sends Billy off on his own again and he finds sanctuary and a welcoming new family of fishermen on a remote island in Casco Bay off the coast of Maine. Billy further describes his struggles to come to grips with his first teenage romantic crush and the pains of unrequited love while training to become a fisherman. In this first volume, further hardships and troubles await the young emigrant as he describes his struggles to graduate from boyhood to manhood and he begins his epic journey across America to seek out his fortune during the California Gold Rush in 1849.
