The incredible saga first started in "Hunger for Love" continues as Emer and Dalton reach Canada, but have a whole new set of challenges that threaten their love for each other. Readers will be swept away by this historical romance on the high seas, a boat full of Irish refuges from the deadly Potato Famine find adventure, and even love. The author, Shannon Farrell, has taught and written about 19th-century Irish history for more than 20 years, and takes pride in using original eye-witness accounts of the events of that period to write stirring fiction that captures the lives and loves of the ordinary people living in those times. "I loved how resourceful everyone had to be living aboard ship and at the Grosse Ile quarantine station. It was also fun to write a real villain in the form of Frederick Randall." The heroine, Emer, is made up, but all of the events are accurate. Forced to emigrate to Canada, Emer and her family endure a harrowing journey on board a "Coffin ship" bound for Grosse Ile in Quebec. Emer, working as a cabin boy to help her family's finances, meets the enigmatic Dalton Randolph, the ship's only gentleman passenger, who's not all that he seems. As the truth emerges, all hell breaks loose. Who exactly IS Dalton? And why is he REALLY on that hell ship? The shocking revelations on both sides force Emer and Dalton to confront their growing feelings for each other. Their attraction is undeniable, but what will Emer do when she discovers the man she is falling in love with is not all he seems? Canada looks beautiful and unspoiled, but there are all sorts of dangers lurking. Can Emer navigate safely through this strange new world? Including Dalton's father Frederick, who has far different plans for his son than to allow him to marry an Irish peasant...? Anyone who loves Victorian historical romances or 19th-century historical fiction is certain to love this gritty and vivid portrayal of the Irish Potato Famine, and the refugees forced to flee from it to the New World. Anyone who loves quality historical fiction, or historical romance, will enjoy this book.
