About this ebook

Ireland, 1848. Fourteen-year-old Rosaleen watches her mother die. Her country is reeling from the great potato famine, which will ultimately kill more than one million people. Driven by a promise and her will to survive, Rosaleen flees her small coastal town.


She eventually arrives in America at the birth of the industrial revolution and is filled with hope and a new sense of independence. Yet the more Rosaleen becomes a part of this new world, the more she longs for a community she lost and a young man she can’t forget.


Through a series of both heartwarming and tragic events, Rosaleen learns that she can’t outrun the problems that come along with being Irish. And maybe, she doesn’t want to.

I am very disappointed actually. I loved this book so much that I did not want it to end..... and I was trying to figure out how to come up with the money for the sequel only to find out it isn't ready yet. You are an exceptional writer. amazing. thanks so much. I am adding your name to my list of authors to look for in the future. There are only a handful of names on there but yours is joining them.
