THE LUCK OF THE BOGANS, a Short Story by Sarah O Jewett

In the heart of Bantry, amidst the cobblestone streets and thatched-roof cottages, the Bogans prepare for a journey that promises new beginnings in America. But as the town gathers to bid farewell, Peggy Muldoon, with her game leg and patch-eyed vigor, unleashes a torrent of blessings that belies the heartache of separation. With every coin tossed and every hand waved, the fabric of community tightens, weaving a tale of hope, heritage, and the haunting question of what truly makes a home. Join Mike, Biddy, and their young child as they navigate the turbulent emotions of leaving Ireland's shores, where every farewell is a story, and every blessing a beacon of the luck that might-or might not-follow them to the New World.
