Ladies of Mischief #3
Aisling's Story
Pilfering food for her sickly
máthair, Aisling O’Quinn
wanders amidst the filth-ridden cobbled streets of Five
Points, Manhattan. A matron of the Children’s Aid Society
catches her and considers it her civic duty to force the
twelve-year-old onto an orphan train to a “better life”.
Though Five Points is a notorious slum, with its rag-picker
alleys and bandit haunts, she desperately misses the
one-room tenement at the bend on Mulberry Street that
overflowed with love and laughter.
On the eve of the
Battle of Gettysburg, as Northern and
Southern military troops are gathering, Aisling O’Quinn
musters the courage to escape the dreadful farm where she
lives. Not even the fear of capture as a runaway fades her
intense longing to reunite with her beloved máthair.
Can Aisling overcome the influence of her disastrous past?
Is she strong enough to take control of the drastic changes
and unfortunate circumstances she is about to face? Will her
unresolved memories cripple her?
