Across an Ocean of Hope is a biographical novel that tells the life of Catherine Naughton Loughrey, a young Irishwoman who crosses the Atlantic alone in 1903 and builds a life, a marriage, and a family in West Philadelphia across more than seven decades. Narrated in the first person in Catherine's own voice, the book blends the warmth of Maeve Binchy with the unsentimental honesty of Frank McCourt, carrying a light Irish flavor in its dialogue. It is the story of one woman's endurance - the small, daily acts of love and and steadiness that hold a family together through immigration, widowhood, the Depression, and a world war - told by a granddaughter who knew her.
