Destiny

"Fleeing an abusive father and a hopeless life in Ireland in 1895, nineteen-year-old Tom Callahan takes passage on a ship bound for America. On board the Antioch, he meets pretty Katrina Hansen, a young Norwegian woman traveling to Utah with her family. Their meeting results in a promise: Katrina will wait one year before accepting any other proposal of marriage; within that time, Tom will somehow find his way to Utah to try his hand at permanently winning her heart"--provided by publisher.
