  • "416 Smith Street, Brooklyn, America--the ultimate goal for Nory Ryan as she flees her famine-ridden home in mid-1800s Ireland. Twelve-year-old Nory Ryan lives with her family on the west-central coast of Ireland. She is worried that they may be evicted from their subsistence-level farm any day and hopes their father will come back from sea with money to save them. At the onset of the Irish Potato Famine in 1845, many families decide to immigrate to America. The Ryans want to join the other families. One by one, Nory's family departs for a new life in America. Nory is the last to go. Keeping her sister Maggie's address close to her heart, Nory embarks on the perilous, heart-breaking journey to Galway and onward. Meanwhile, her friend Sean Red Mallon is just a few days ahead, traveling with his mother and Nory's little brother, Patch, with the same destination in mind. In alternating voices, Nory and Sean tell their stories--the grueling day-by-day struggle, as the protagonists suffer injuries, thievery, separations, and horrific sea passages."@en
  • "Many readers of NORY RYAN'S SONG wondered what happened to Nory, who set out alone on the road to Galway, hoping to find her family and sail for Brooklyn, America. MAGGIE'S DOOR is the story of the journey from Ireland to America told by both Nory and her neighbor Sean Red Mallon. Here are two different stories with the same destination - the home of Nory's sister Maggie in Brooklyn. The passage is harrowing, but Nory and Sean are pulled onward by a single dream: to reach Maggie's door."
