Denver, 1890. Alice Butler and her sister Nora step off the train at Union Depot into a city booming with promise and hungry for cheap labor. They're determined to build a life bigger than the one they left behind in Ireland.
Two other Irish immigrants are on the same train: Thomas Quinn, a skilled carpenter, who brings his craft and a fierce belief in dignity for working people; and Emmett Kelly, a sharply ambitious butcher, who sees opportunity everywhere—and plans to take his share.
Over the next decade, their lives braid together through romance, rivalry, and hard-won survival as Denver transforms from rough frontier town to cosmopolitan hub.
Then a petty argument over a cut of beef turns into a brutal knife fight. Two families are shattered. But the women persevere, building a future neither the city nor their past ever offered them.
A meticulously researched story about what women build when the men are gone.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - On an autumn day in 1890, eighteen-year-old Alice Butler and her sister Nora step out the massive doors of the Union Depot in Denver and into their new life, far from their home in Ireland. Call it what you may-coincidence, chance, or tragic fate-the same train has deposited two other young Irish immigrants at the foot of the Rockies that day: Thomas Quinn, a skilled carpenter with a heart for labor rights and brotherhood, and Emmett Kelly, a butcher with relentless self-interest at his core. In the following years, the lives of these four intersect, leading to loves, conflicts, and unexpected alliances. A devastating dispute shatters their world, testing their resolve to move forward.We are at their sides as they navigate personal challenges amidst sweeping social and economic changes, and we witness the indomitable spirit and resilience of immigrants daring to dream. Watching every setback turn into a step forward, every heartache reveal a stronger bond, we learn for ourselves the essence of ambition, the price of progress, and the infinite capacity for hope.
