When Niamh Murphy finds out that she will be married soon, at the behest of her powerful father, she hightails it to find her own pathway. Her journey is interrupted by a stumble that almost costs her life itself with a bonus and a man. Life becomes a wild dream of romantic notions with a future of bliss... She believes that she must have been a rich dancer, which is far from the truth.
Captured by tribal people, she returns to her former life and marries a man she does not love or even know for a small price.
Her determined nature rises against the injustice of a drunken and abusive man, taking with her precious possessions that only she and her sister know of. Hunted by the Garda, Niamh is driven to Cork where she sees a fine ship bound for the Big Apple.
Without failing, her courage takes her away for a short stint that ends up in a prison cell.
A beauty and innocence driven young curate decides to connect with this seemingly innocent creature and does the dirty on her.
Will the pressures of the Irish culture and the powerful clergy win her heart or destroy her life and steer her into a future that she would never have chosen?
Filled with dramatic scenes of Ireland's best places, extraordinary ordinary folk that help or hinder, a clatter of language and a sneak peek into the hidden Shelta language from McAllister's almanac of 1934. The Tinkers had a unique language and some is captured by our protagonist and her clan. This is also very funny and Henry S could barely turn its pages because of tears running down his face.
