Sean and Annie have one chance to escape the potato famine and plague in Ireland, but they must leave their dying mother behind. They survive a shipwreck and land in America, searching for their father. Their new land brings hardship, and they live in poverty on the streets of Boston, but their adventure is only beginning.
“There’s a plague, a fever, call it what you will, sweeping this country, and it’s coming closer all the time.” Their journey across rough seas to America is long and dangerous, and their family’s survival depends on the choices they make.
