An uplifting, inspiring and heart-warming story of a woman truly
ahead of her time. Of loves lost and found, of courage and
determination. It is the 1930s and when her beloved husband, John,
suddenly dies, young Ellie Hogan decides to leave Ireland and
return to New York. She hopes that the city's vibrancy will
distract her from her grief. But the Depression has rendered the
city unrecognisable - gone is the energy and party atmosphere that
Ellie once fell in love with, ten years before. Ellie plunges
headfirst into a new life pouring all her passion and energy into
running a home and refuge for the homeless. In return they give her
the kind of love, support and friendship she needs to try and
overcome her grief. Until, one day, someone she thought she'd never
see again steps through her door. It seems that even the Atlantic
isn't big enough to prevent the tragedies of the past catching up
with her . . . The heart-rending but inspiring follow-up to TV Book
Club bestseller ELLIS ISLAND.
