She hungered and hoped, sinned and struggled, until she found her way.Maura O Connell, young, lovely, innocent, an Irish immigrant left widowed in turn-of-the-century New York, was forced to battle for happiness against fearful odds. This is her story- of the men she gave herself to in her desperate search, first for survival, then for fulfillment- of her courageous break for freedom from crushing sexual bondage and brutal working conditions.This powerful novel is a vivid recreation of a time when a woman could become easy prey to men s desires and a slave of a factory system that ruthlessly exploited not only immigrant labor but especially famale labor.Maura s Story is a poignant portrayal of one woman s unbreakable courage and unshakable determination--it will make you weep, make you cheer, and bring hope to your heart.
