Publisher's Summary
Edward O'Brien has loved Lydia Delaney since he was 10 years old, when he proved it by pushing her into a mud puddle. When he leaves for America in 1924 to make his fortune for their future, Lydia is heartbroken, and her ruthless younger sister, Myra, is still determined to have Edward at any cost.
Edward finds life in America difficult. Immigrants, especially Irish Catholics, are shunned, and the influence of the Ku Klux Klan has spread like an epidemic throughout America. When Edward is critically injured in a logging accident, Lydia immediately leaves Ireland for America. Her voyage in steerage is arduous, and an incident aboard ship, changes her and Edward’s life forever.
A mentally unbalanced Myra follows Lydia to America. When her plan of revenge is derailed by her own greed, she finds herself in danger, and in need of Lydia’s help to survive.
Bringing life to the struggles of Irish immigrants in the 1920s, The Good Deed will captivate listeners who enjoyed Andriana Trigiani's, The Shoemaker's Wife.
