In 1936, a young woman named Sara Walsh left her native Ireland for the United States, where she began a new life with relatives on the South Side of Chicago and eventually married the son of Russian Jewish emigrants. This volume recounts her life story, as told to her son, historian Richard White (Stanford U.). Her narratives are augmented by White's own recollections as well as those of other family members.
