Beyond the Western Sea Book One
Twelve year old Patrick and fourteen year old Moira finally manage to board the boat for America, but their troubles are far from over. Their Da had sent them a bank draft and a letter requesting that they join him in America. The missive arrives just in time as the English landlord has decided to raze their Irish village. Their mother declines to make the voyage as she feels her health will not enable her to complete the voyage. A side story dovetails with theirs, as young Lawrence Kirkle has run away from home and befriends the young Irish refugees.
