When the potato famine of 1845 forced Bridget McKenna to flee her home in Ireland, she came
to America to work as a scullery maid on a Virginia
plantation. That was four years ago. Now, Bridget
dreams of bringing her father and six siblings to join her
in America. She also dreams of marrying a God-fearing
man, and when she meets the tall, handsome Lance
York, it seems her dream might come true. He's English,
however, just like the cruel landlord who oppressed
Bridget's family in Ireland. Could there be more to him
than she realizes?
