Shawna McGann is Mick’s love interest in Muldoon’s Minnesota Darling: a Novella, a self-published prelude to Book 1 which is launching in July of 2024.
This portion of Mick Muldoon’s life is after he emigrates from County Kerry, Ireland beginning in 1867, and includes the years he lived in Minnesota up to 1874. Mick finally found a place where his hopes for a better life could be fulfilled.
The Irish were a prolific emigration population but not a popular one. There were many in America who intensely disliked the Irish Catholics and didn’t understand the horrific poverty and famine they had escaped. They might not have taken part in the active persecution or malicious slander, but unfair beliefs about the Irish people persisted for many years. As in modern times, emigrant groups tended to join those who understood their experiences, backgrounds, or class distinctions.
