An Irish mother must flee her beloved homeland for a new life in America, in the “gripping” second novel of the acclaimed historical trilogy (Publishers Weekly). Forced to flee Ireland, Gracelin O’Malley boards a coffin ship bound for America, taking her young daughter with her on the arduous transatlantic voyage. In New York, Gracelin struggles to adapt to a strange new world and to the harsh realities of immigrant life in a city teeming with crime, corruption, and anti-Irish prejudice. As she tries to make a life for herself and her daughter, she reunites with her brother, Sean . . . and a man she thought she’d never see again. When her friendship with a runaway slave sweeps her into the volatile abolitionist movement, Gracelin gains entrée to the drawing rooms of the wealthy and powerful. Still, the injustice all around her threatens the future of those she loves, and once again, she must do the unthinkable. This sweeping novel of the Irish immigrant experience in 1840s America brings a long-ago world to vibrant life and continues a remarkable heroine’s bold, dramatic journey through extraordinary times.

After nearly three years living in Ireland, changes in Ireland's immigration policy forced Jane (and many other Americans) to return to the USA, not wealthy enough to be welcome as anything other than a tourist in "The Land of 100,000 Welcomes." Overcome by loss even before leaving the place she called home, she begins the difficult journey away from Ireland. Even back in America, Ireland's pull is strong. Filled with homesickness and haunted by memories of the life she loved in County Kerry, she struggles to detach and be an American in America again. Spend time in both Ireland and America, from Oregon to North Carolina, and get ready for tears and laughter, new characters, discoveries, and adventures as Jane travels the long road from Ireland trying to turn away from the past and toward a new future, and find a place she might once again call home. LEAVING IRELAND picks up where CHICKENS IN THE GARDEN, WELLIES BY THE DOOR left off. Return to Ireland and enjoy a simple life filled with kind friends and laughter, turf fires and tea, music and flower-filled gardens, and long walks in the rain. Experience the culture shock of being back in America and despite feeling displaced and homesick, look for and find humor and beauty wherever you can. Seek new adventures and enjoy new delights as you search for a place where you can finally say, "Ah, yes, now this is beginning to feel like home."

This “elegantly written” trilogy follows an unforgettable Irish heroine from the potato famine through immigrating to America (Eileen Goudge). “An epic saga that sweeps you into the life of a remarkable woman,” Ann Moore’s trilogy of breathtaking historical novels covers Gracelin O’Malley’s life from the 1845 Famine and the Young Ireland movement to the mass emigration to America, culminating in the wild frontier of 1850s California (Romantic Times). Through it all, Gracelin’s indomitable spirit and Moore’s “vivid historical detail” prove most hauntingly memorable (Kirkus Reviews). Gracelin O’Malley: As the potato famine devastates Ireland, Gracelin openly defies her English husband by feeding the desperate souls who come to their door, and secretly sides with the rebels who call themselves the Young Irelanders—including her beloved brother, Sean—as they fight to free their homeland from the yoke of English rule. “Lyrical, pitch-perfect prose . . . Historical fiction at its finest.” —Publishers Weekly Leaving Ireland: Forced to flee Ireland, Gracelin takes her young daughter with her on an arduous transatlantic voyage to New York City. As she tries to make a new life for herself and her daughter, she reunites with her brother and befriends a runaway slave, getting swept up into the volatile abolitionist movement. “Moore blends romance and adventure. . . . Strong and likable characters and a well-paced story will make readers look forward to Gracelin’s next appearance.” —Booklist ’Til Morning Light: With her two children, Gracelin travels to post–Gold Rush San Francisco to meet the sea captain who has proposed to her. But when she arrives, he is nowhere to be found. Although destitute in a dangerous city, Gracelin vows to make a secure life for her children and find her brother. “Readers who have been following the story of Gracelin O’Malley will be thrilled with the concluding volume in Moore’s trilogy.” —Booklist

Sean and Michael were not only cousins, but they were also best friends. Together they got into all types of mischief: teasing bulls, sneaking potatoes from the farmers' fields, and scaring Michael's younger sister Kathleen. But mostly, this is the story of two cousins leaving Ireland to settle in a new land. Their fathers had gone off to America to make a better life for their families a year before, and it was just a matter of time until there was enough money for their families to join them. Sean's great adventure came first, when he and his mother crossed the Atlantic on one of the fastest ships on the ocean, the Lusitania. But that meant for a few years his only contact with his cousin was through the letters they wrote back and forth. Finally Michael's Dad saved enough money to also bring his family to Norristown, Pennsylvania. Was the luck of the Irish with Michael as well? He certainly thought so, and he was thrilled to be going to sea on the greatest Irish built ship ever. He was sailing to America on the largest ship in the world. He was sailing on the Titanic!

The political establishment would have you believe that Ireland's economic crisis is over. But leading Irish economist Cormac Lucey shows that it is premature to declare an end to the euro-crisis. He argues that joining the single currency was the pivotal cause of Ireland's economic bust and it is also the single biggest threat to its recovery. Plan Bproposes a concrete plan for exiting the euro and restructuring Ireland's debt mountains, showing that fears of what will happen if Ireland leaves the euro are overstated. It will set Ireland on a path to higher economic growth, lower emigration and a more sustainable future. If you are tired of hearing that Plan A is the only game in town – another difficult budget, meagre economic growth, high unemployment, mass emigration and staggeringly high debt – read Plan B and be reassured there is an alternative.

This is the story of the Lally family between 1818 and 1848. It could just as easily be your story if you have ancestors who were among over a million people who left the beautiful and tragic land of Ireland in the 1840s. This family lived in the Loughrea area, County Galway, Ireland, and their story is similar to that of so many Irish families as they struggled against the odds, were overwhelmed by the tragedy of the Great Famine, and were forced to leave their beloved homeland. This book explores how the Irish lived at this time, how they thought, and the reasons for their situation in Ireland. It brings together the many strands of Irish society and the economics, politics, and philosophy that dominated their lives. It describes the terrible journeys that members of the family undertook to reach England, America, Canada, and Australia.
