'Til Morning Light
Ann Moore
She’s a long way from Ireland—but Gracelin O’Malley still has a long way to go to reach home...
She crossed an ocean and then a continent to escape the
suffering of famine-torn Ireland. Now, haunted by loss, but
determined to build a new life in the new world, Gracelin
O’Malley traverses the country with her young children to
accept a San Francisco sea captain’s practical proposal of
marriage. But when she arrives, he is not there… The City of Gold is awash with emigrant gangs,
disillusioned soldiers, professional gamblers and ruthless
opportunists; it is no place for widows and children. When
a prominent doctor offers her work in his household, Grace
accepts, only to become embroiled in blackmail and betrayal
at the hands of his troubled sister. As past catches up to
present, Grace discovers that the city harbors one man
she’d thought lost to her—and their reunion sets in motion
a series of events that affects the future of everyone
around them. But as Grace prepares to wed, there is one
last ghost to face.
