Description

It's 1911 and, against her mother's wishes, quiet New Yorker Emma dreams of winning the right to vote.

She is sent away by her parents in the hope distance will curb her desire to be involved with the growing suffrage movement and told to spend time learning about where her grandparents came from. Across the Atlantic - Queenstown, southern Ireland - hotelier Thomas dreams of being loved, even noticed, by his actress wife, Alice.

On their wedding day, Alice's father had assured him that adoration comes with time.

It's been eight years. But Alice has plans of her own and they certainly don't include the fight for equality or her dull husband. Emma's arrival in Ireland leads her to discover family secrets and become involved in the Irish Women's Suffrage Society in Cork.

However, Emma's path to suffrage was never meant to lead to a forbidden love affair...
