Description

Pushed from the only real home he's known during Ireland’s Good Starvation of 1847, Fergus O’Brien makes the traumatic trip from County Clare to America, touring with gem kids, daring women, navvies, and highwaymen. As you go along, Fergus fulfills his three Lenny, enthusiastic loves–Phoebe, and Molly–vivid, memorable people, willful.Based and clean on Chris Behrens’s own genealogy, What The Law States of Desires is musical, psychological, and completely extraordinary–a searing story of supreme determination and fervent battle.
