Walking through the thick fog clouding San Francisco, Maggie lifts her chin and forces a smile to her lips. We must rebuild our lives and fight for our future, no matter what...
San Francisco, 1893: When Maggie O'Halloran steps off the train in California, she knows she must be brave for her friend Brendan and her brother Danny. Having fled both New York and Chicago, they all have broken spirits and fear having to start again. Can Maggie find courage and strength for them all?
Maggie soon finds a boarding house that will take them in. In a lively part of town, and with a colourful clientele, it is not somewhere she ever imagined staying. Until one night when they are woken by a distressing cry, and Maggie finds herself assisting a doctor to save a young woman's life.
Working through the night by candlelight, Maggie realises this may be her true calling. When the doctor asks if she would consider training as a nurse, she says yes immediately, hopeful she might have finally found her purpose in life. Will this now give her the courage to tell Brendan how she truly feels?
But before she can risk her heart, Brendan reveals that Danny is in trouble once more. They are leaving at dawn for Alaska to mine for gold, and Maggie is both shocked and heartbroken. Should she stay, and continue the work that has given her life such meaning? Or should she sacrifice everything, and follow those she loves even further into the unknown?
The third book in the epic Maggie O'Halloran series is a sweeping and atmospheric story about following your heart, no matter where it takes you. Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah, Kristin Harmel and Jean Grainger.
