A courageous woman journeys from nineteenth-century Ireland to the American West in a powerful novel about the indomitable will to survive-and to flourish-against nearly impossible odds.It´s 1849 on the west coast of Ireland. Resilient Honora O´Donoghue is accustomed to fending for herself and to reading the language of the natural world. It was always said she´d been marked for something different, but it´s not until she suffers devastating losses in a country gripped by the Famine that Honora begins to understand how that difference will save her. With the hope of a better life in America calling, Honora keeps moving toward her freedom.Across the Atlantic, she´s unfamiliar with the customs, jobs are scarce, and she has no money. She finds only one new friend, and Honora´s desperation is a state to be taken advantage of. Even the prospect of marriage is not without its conditions-and far from the dream she imagines. With so much disappointment and heartbreak in her past, Honora must decide what kind of life she wants, and what she´s prepared to do to get it.mehr
