Prairie Hamlet

Prairie Hamlet: River's Edge, is the second book in the five book Prairie Hamlet saga, continuing the story begun in Molly's Place where we met Molly Hartnett and the many faces that fill her rooming house. Set in the fictional community of Canalport, near Chicago's downtown, The Prairie Hamlet series is a character driven and historically accurate storyline of Irish migrs who meet as strangers and become extended family as they confront the obstacles of the period. Prairie Hamlet: River's Edge takes us deeper into the lives of the characters we met in Molly's Place. While demonstrating the meaning of friendship, trust and respect the 'family' created in the first book of the series continues to struggle with and celebrate life in 1868 Chicago.
