Helpful Score: 5

This is such a wonderful read! It is not so much a mystery/thriller as I thought it would be, but more of historical fiction with a bit of a mystery and some twists in the end.
The prologue begins in 1937 on Alcatraz in the midst of the search for a prison guard's missing young daughter. You know there is a prisoner who is involved, but you don't know who or why.
The book takes us back to 1919 Ireland and the story of a young orphan boy and his experiences that eventually take us to America. He goes through so much and I was rooting for him throughout. There are some suspenseful elements and surprises in the end, but this is more a beautiful story of family, hope and perseverance.
