From New York Times bestselling author
Kristina McMorris comes an ambitious and heartrending
story of immigrants, deception, and second chances.
On a cold night in October 1937, searchlights cut
through the darkness around Alcatraz. A prison guard's
only daughter--one of the youngest civilians who lives on
the island--has gone missing. Tending the warden's
greenhouse, convicted bank robber Tommy Capello waits
anxiously. Only he knows the truth about the little
girl's whereabouts, and that both of their lives depend
on the search's outcome.
Almost two decades
earlier and thousands of miles away, a young boy named
Shanley Keagan ekes out a living as an aspiring
vaudevillian in Dublin pubs. Talented and shrewd, Shan
dreams of shedding his dingy existence and finding his
real father in America. The chance finally comes to cross
the Atlantic, but when tragedy strikes, Shan must summon
all his ingenuity to forge a new life in a volatile and
foreign world.
Skillfully weaving these two
stories, Kristina McMorris delivers a compelling novel
that moves from Ireland to New York to San Francisco Bay.
As her finely crafted characters discover the true nature
of loyalty, sacrifice, and betrayal, they are forced to
confront the lies we tell--and believe--in order to
survive.
