In Dust Under Our Feet, The Saga of an Irish American Family, Jerry McGinley spins the tale of the McBrennan family as they leave all they’ve ever known to build a life in Wisconsin’s Driftless area. Bernard McBrennan has a dream of a life that holds more than his little farm in Ireland can give. Matriarch Fiona is willing to follow her husband, but the trip across the Atlantic proves devastating, and Fiona’s sense of adventure washes away with the tide.
Dust Under Our Feet takes a hard look at the challenges of emigration on a marriage and a family. Despite the relentless hardships, the McBrennans thrive and succeed. Bernard’s dreams are further realized when his sons branch out to make their own way in this new land. This is a family who suffers much for this new life and brings to mind the journeys of the millions who came before and after them, and asks, ‘Could our spirit withstand the same?’ This is a page-turner!
