120 Words1 Pages
Imogene, Iowa. Population 62 and a handful of stray cats. Home of the Emerald Isle Tavern and Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church. A bright and shiny namesake my dad wanted to gift me.

As a young man, Dominic Martin came over from Ireland in search of the American Dream.

Gone were the days of the potato famine and war; replacing them were annual St. Patrick’s day parades and the local Catholic church’s 100 year anniversary.
