An opportunity arises that could make his dreams come true, but it involves great personal risk to both himself and his family. He recalls the gamble he took when he fled the Potato Famine in Ireland, and wonders if he could make a gamble on his life one more time? Will his wife and children understand his decision to join the war? Yours Faithfully, Florence Burke is a novel of enduring faith, bravery, and the indestructible bond of family.
