In the bitter winter of 1847, from an Ireland torn by famine and
injustice, the Star of the Sea sets sail for NewYork. On board are
hundreds of refugees, some optimistic, many more desperate. Among
them are a maid with a devastating secret, the bankrupt Lord
Merridith, his wife and children, and a killer stalking the decks,
hungry for the vengeance that will bring absolution. This journey
will see many lives end, others begin anew. Passionate loves are
tenderly recalled, shirked responsibilities regretted too late, and
profound relationships shockingly revealed. In this spellbinding
tale of tragedy and mercy, love and healing, the farther the ship
sails toward the Promised Land, the more her passengers seem moored
to a past that will never let them go. As urgently contemporary as
it is historical, this exciting and compassionate novel builds with
the pace of a thriller to a stunning conclusion.
