The Legacy of Aidan McManus Judith Sessler

It was turn-of-the-century Ireland when Sheila O'Reilly, the fiery red-headed beauty, fell for the handsome Ian McManus. She never imagined that their life together would take them across the ocean to America. As poor Irish immigrants, they settled in the Lower East Side of New York. Sheila found work as the upstairs maid at the stately home of Thomas and Evelyn Burrows. It was a tender twist of fate that wove their lives together through love and tragedy for generations to come. It is at her grandfather Aidan's funeral, that we are introduced to Nora, who takes us back through the years to the inspiring and heartwarming, yet often tragic stories of the McManuses and the legacy they left behind
