He does his best to follow orders while trying to be fair to the workers whose lot he sees as little different from his own. Despite his efforts at fairness, Yeager's job makes him the enemy of the Irish.And that's the crux of his troubles.For Ben is in love with an Irish girl. Genre: Historical Fiction/Suspense
