About this audiobook
Almost two decades earlier and thousands of miles away, a young boy named Shanley Keagan ekes out a living as an aspiring vaudevillian in Dublin pubs. Talented and shrewd, Shan dreams of shedding his dingy existence and finding his real father in America. The chance finally comes to cross the Atlantic, but when tragedy strikes, Shan must summon all his ingenuity to forge a new life in a volatile and foreign world.
Skillfully weaving these two stories, Kristina McMorris delivers a compelling novel that moves from Ireland to New York to San Francisco Bay. As her finely crafted characters discover the true nature of loyalty, sacrifice, and betrayal, they are forced to confront the lies we tell-and believe-in order to survive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great story. Fall in love with the characters. Hold your breath until the ending.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I adored this book. Such a wonderful character progression. I especially loved the relationship development between the Capello's and Shan. Charlie Thurston as the narrator does a great job and I found at the end of the story that I didn't want to leave the characters and wanted to hear more about the next chapter of Shan's life. A great story and I really enjoyed it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to lately. I love all the characters!
