On a cold February night in 1925, Mollie and Annemarie Kenny escape
from their home in a tiny Irish village. Their beloved mother has
died and the girls have suffered shocking abuse at the hands of
their doctor father. With sensitive, creative Annemarie so
traumatized she can barely remember her name, Mollie decides they
should make a new life for themselves, taking her younger sister to
Liverpool to board a ship bound for New York and, she hopes,
safety. But the smallest, cruelest twist of fate conspires to
separate the girls just as the boat is about to sail, leaving
Mollie stranded in Liverpool and Annemarie at the mercy of
strangers in America. The subsequent paths of their lives could not
be more different. Annemarie discovers her future, her fortune, and
her raison d'etre on Broadway, while Mollie, devastated by guilt
and grief at the loss of her sister, eventually carves out a life
of family, hearth, and home in Liverpool, a city of warmth and
humor that she grows to love. As the 1920s make way for the
Depression and the edgy 1930s, the specter of another war looms.
The Second World War will separate many more people from their
loved ones, but, as Mollie sees in the cheerful, stoical
camaraderie of blitzed Liverpool, it can also bring people
together.
