After so much death, this young immigrant will do anything to start her new life.
Ireland, 1847. Myra McCormick has lost too much to stay. After the sixteen-year-old's two younger siblings die in the Irish Potato Famine, she resolves to create a new family of her own. As she emigrates to America, she meets a college student who's both handsome and the perfect candidate to let her live out her new dream...
David Kaplan has a knack for books but no clue about the immigrant's struggle. Drawn to the desperate Irish Catholic girl, his traditional Jewish upbringing is no match for their passion. With her beautiful face and voice in mind, he embraces her and ignores the consequences.

As pregnancy forces Myra and David together, the hopes of a prosperous future may push them to venture into the dangerous unknown.

Will they plant the seeds for a lasting family legacy, or will the brutal realities of America destroy their fragile future?

The Emigrant is the first book in the true-to-life American Journeys historical fiction series. If you like courageous heroines, richly-detailed settings, and stories of relentless determination, then you'll love Richard Alan Schwartz's poignant tale.
