Chapter 1: What challenges do Pat and Tom face upon arriving in New York?
New York Harbor, 1927. Pat and Tom Payton arrive in America full of excitement and hope, and ready to reunite with their sister Nellie. But New York City is a lot bigger than County Mayo, and a job isn't always easy to come by, especially for Irish boys. Now, their wits, faith, and resilience will be tested in the Land of Plenty.

Hello, America! Get ready, New York. The Payton brothers are here. Look, look, it's Nellie.
Chapter 2: How do the Payton brothers plan to achieve their American dream?
Right there in the red coat. Nellie, Nellie, look up here. Come on, let's go to her.
Pat? Tom? Is that you?
Hiya, Nellie. Stay right there.
Oh, boys, it's good to see you. Give me hugs, both of you. Oh, you're so big now.
You look nice yourself, Nellie. We're going to strike it rich here in the land of promise. Just wait, Nellie. You won't have to work again. We're going to be American millionaires.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Whoa, that's a mighty tall building.
I'm counting 60 floors at least. Are you sure this is the right place to start? In Manhattan? If you want to get into American real estate, Wall Street is the place to be. Come on, Tom. If you say so. Almost there. You said that two flights of stairs ago.

Chapter 3: What obstacles do the Payton brothers encounter in their job search?
Yeah, but I think this is the right floor this time. Hello?
Welcome to Sutton & Co. Real Estate. Do you have an appointment?
Ah, no. We're the Payton brothers. Here to apply for a job.
Not hiring.
We'd be willing to work for free to start. We would?
I said we're not hiring. Out.
Thank you, ma'am. Let's try the next floor. Pat, this was the third one we tried. We traveled across the Atlantic Ocean. I'm not giving up easy. Come on.
Sometimes I wish you'd take no for an answer.
This is Morris S. Earl and Company. Are you new clients? We're your next brokers. What? Are you hiring here? I'm certainly not hiring. And I don't think the boss is either. Go back to Ireland.

Chapter 4: How does Nellie support Pat and Tom in New York?
Pat, we tried every real estate company in New York. Nobody wants to hire us.
You'll have better luck in Scranton.
I hope so.
Beatrice and I will help you.
Thanks, Nellie.
Pat, I want to introduce you to Monsignor Kelly at the Cathedral of St Peter.
Why me and not Tom?
I think you should talk with him. He's a good man and he has incredible insights, especially on vocations to the priesthood.
I'm not going to be a priest, Nellie. Drop it.

Chapter 5: What advice does Nellie give to Pat about his future?
Oh, sure, I know it. I crossed over a while back. My family's in banking, mostly in New York.
How did you end up in Pennsylvania, then?
Well, I went down to Maryland for seminary and then was sent here. And this is my parish and my home now. Speaking of... You'll be wanting to know what your job is.
Yes, sir.
The main body of the cathedral needs painting. There are rollers and paint buckets in that closet. Got it. It'll be a big project over the next few months. Every day, open the doors at seven o'clock, sharp, and lock up at nine in the evening.
I'll remember.
Here are the keys to the cathedral.
Thank you.
You'll sweep the floors, stoke the furnace, and clean the pews as needed. They honestly only need to be polished once every few months.
