Fiona Finnegan grows up in London's East End with two cherished hopes: a future with her childhood sweetheart Joe and a shop of her own. When violence and loss shatter her family, she must leave the life she knows and make a new beginning across the Atlantic. In New York, determination and a talent for business offer a route towards independence, but success cannot erase the questions surrounding her father's death or the people left behind. Spanning the late nineteenth century, Jennifer Donnelly's novel follows Fiona through poverty, opportunity and the consequences of returning to an unresolved past. Family loyalties, romance and revenge shape a sweeping story of a woman determined to reclaim her future.
