When the Rooster Crows

The Flynn family risks a treacherous transatlantic crossing to the New World desperate to avoid certain death by starvation. Embracing life and love, and emboldened by their immigrant spirit, the Flynn's stand up to all who dare to threaten their dreams: horse thieves, bounty hunters, arsonists and Yankee soldiers who assault their homestead. When the Rooster Crows' rich tapestry is interlaced with heartwarming stories of slaves escaping via the underground railroad, an orphan adopted by a childless couple and the will and honor of the strong-willed characters. With tenacity, kindness and fortunate alliances, their modest needs are met. Much is lost in the end, but their community spirit survives.
