Publisher's Synopsis
In County Tipperary they were called The Sisters O'Donnell. They resembled each other both in character and looks, with the flaming red hair of the O'Donnell clan and tempers to match. When they came to seek their fortune in the Liverpool of the Twenties, they were full of ambition and hope. Gina planned to be a star of the theatre. Mary Kate wanted to find a husband. And Bridget - gentle, timid Bridget - just wanted to get away from the fighting all around her and have a calm, peaceful life. But Liverpool wasn't what they anticipated, and neither was their Aunt Maura, who was supposed to set them on their paths to fortune. Maura turned out to be a miserable slattern, and Uncle Bart a scrounging, lascivious old man. Work was impossible to find and their money was running out. The Sisters O'Donnell had a long way to go before they could realise their dreams.
