From the back of the book:
Born to the riveting penuary of nineteenth century Ireland, Jess O'Hara and his high-spirited sister, Karen, flee their wretched homeland for a new life in America.

Exhausted after a nine-week crossing in an overcrowded, disease-ridden "coffin ship", they arrive in Pittsburgh - the thrusting, turbulent steel capital of the United States. Surrounded by smoke and fire-belching chimneys, deafened by the beat of giant hammers, they struggle to adapt to this alien world.

At first resisting the tug of easy wealth, Jess forsakes his fellow immigrants and bulldozes his way to fame and fortune, exploiting the love of two women to become a financial tiger in a city where mere jungle-law prevails.
