Work Description

Maura O'Connell, 15, and her brother, Patrick, 12, escape Ireland's brutal poverty with only the belongings in their bundles and tickets for ocean passage. Sir Laurence Kirkle, 11, flees a life of privilege to seek justice. When fate brings them ogether, the three join forces in a daring scheme that may lead to freedom and glory...or dire consequences.

Excerpts

Just before dawn-that moment when time itself seems to stand still, when the whole world teeters on the edge of possibilities-a man looking like death's own shadow came scurrying down a bluff toward the tiny village of Kilonny in Ireland.
