Beyond the Western Sea Book Two
This is a heartwarming story of the rigors and discrimination faced by Irish immigrants as they came to America in 1851 to escape the potato famine and unjust landlords. Twelve year old Patrick O'Connell and his sister, Moira, have left Ireland unaccompanied. Unbeknownest to them, the father who sent them their tickets and who is supposed to meet their ship, the Rober Peel, has died. They have befriended a runaway, Lawrence Worthy, who is, in fact, the son of the landlord who caused their house to be razed; and have been befriended by a most helpful actor who has fallen in love with Moira.
