About this listen

From multi-award-winning historical fiction author Ashley E. Sweeney comes a family saga about the Irish immigrant experience spanning New York, Chicago, and Colorado so compelling that, USA Today bestselling author Kelli Estes says, "I read this story in one sitting."

Thirteen-year-old Mary Agnes Coyne, forced from her home in rural Ireland in 1886 after being accused of incest, endures a treacherous voyage across the Atlantic alone to an unknown life in America. From the tenements of New York to the rough alleys of Chicago, Mary Agnes suffers the bitter taste of prejudice for the crime of being poor and Irish.

After moving west to Colorado, Mary Agnes again faces hardships and grapples with heritage, religion, and matters of the heart. Will she ever find a home to call her own? Where?

Dragged Out & Torturous

Pace is important in any tale. The Irish Girl wants you to spend every minute on the trials & triumphs of the heroine. It is a drag. Perhaps it could have been a novellette or short story. Better the author to speed ocean voyages and train rides in order to concentrate on the plot line.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
