#2 in The Emerald Ballad series
Nora Kavanagh and her young son, Daniel, fled their home in famine-ravaged Ireland in hopes of building a better life in America. . .
Now they struggle to survive in their new and unfamiliar country. Even with the friendship and help of a wealthy, influential American family and the affection of fellow immigrant Evan Whittaker, Nora finds herself caught in a conflict of the heart.
Michael Burke, a dedicated and resolute New York City policeman, desperately wants to keep his promise to his best friend, Morgan Fitzgerald, to marry Nora and protect her. But Nora's instincts urge her to resist Michael's proposal and instead follow her heart in a different direction. Her personal struggle is complicated by the heartaches from the homeland that continue to plague her.
