MULBERRY BEND by Karen Dean Benson

Ladies of Mischief #3

Aisling O'Quinn, born on a 'coffin ship' as her parents emigrate from County Cork, Ireland, Aisling begins life in a Five-Points slum in lower Manhattan--the worst tenement America knew in 1850s.

Aisling's young life knows the love of her parents, and also the filth of the streets; the rag-picker alleys and bandits haunts. When her maither dies in a meat-packing riot on the Hudson River, she is very young and her world torn apart.

An orphan train, and the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg are but a few of her life changing ordeals.

Also available as a paperback book on Lulu.com.
