In Civil War–era New York, an Irish woman running an orphanage for African-American children faces the chaos of the 1863 Draft Riots. When her estranged husband returns, personal conflict intertwines with the threat outside, forcing them to join forces. Through courage and compassion, she fights to keep the children safe while confronting the realities of prejudice, war, and reconciliation.

Book in collaboration with Morton Da Costa, based on an idea by John Flaxman.
