"A story of love, loss and tragedy: a heartbreaking and moving tale" Readers' Favorite
In 1875, 18-year-old would-be poet, Jack Brennan, runs away from home to avoid being pushed into the priesthood. Jack lands the teaching job he's always dreamed of and meets the love of his life, Eliza Hewlett. But his dreams are shattered when Mary Ellen, his wealthy landlord's daughter, falsely accuses him of fathering the child she is expecting.

Jack and Eliza decide to flee to America. As they are about to sail, Jack is arrested and dragged from the ship, leaving Eliza alone en route to New York with only a few shillings in her pocket. Desperate and powerless, Jack is forced into marrying the woman he despises.

How will Eliza cope alone and penniless in New York? Can Jack make a new life amid the ruins of his hopes and dreams? Will the lovers meet again?
A beautiful bittersweet story from the award-winning author of The Pearl of Penang
