Overview

Cahey's love of Ireland had always been his saving grace—but now has become his greatest hindrance. So much has been taken from his family, farm, education, and the love of his life. Still, there’s one thing they can’t take his remarkable ability to understand horses.

Leaving behind his friends and a thriving business in Galway, Cahey embarks on a journey to New York and struggles to find his way. He quickly discovers he is not alone. He bands with other Irish, Scottish, and French immigrants to build a life away from everything he once loved.
