Susan Lynn Peterson: Clare

Clare

Clare Keane is fourteen years old when her mother dies of pneumonia in the tenement room they share in turn-of-the-century Cork, Ireland. Left with two younger brothers, her closest family thousands of miles away in St. Paul, Minnesota, Clare begins a dangerous journey that takes her from Cork through the port of Queenstown to Ellis Island, New York, and finally St. Paul.

Rich in historical detail, Clare allows the reader to live the sights, sounds, and smells of a 1906 journey of immigration.

“You know that you have read a great story when you can’t quit thinking about the characters. The Keane siblings wormed their way into my heart. I am certainly holding out hopes that perhaps the author will write a sequel to this one.”
