Grace McCaffery hopes that the bustling streets of New York hold all the
promise that the lush hills of Ireland did not. As her efforts to earn
enough money to bring her mother to America fail, she wonders if her new
Brownie camera could be the answer. But a casual stroll through a
beautiful New York City park turns into a hostile run-in with local
gangsters, who are convinced her camera holds the first and only photos
of their elusive leader. A policeman with a personal commitment to help
those less fortunate finds Grace attractive and longs to help her, but
Grace believes such men cannot be trusted. Spread thin between her quest
to rescue her mother, do well in a new nanny job, and avoid the gang
intent on intimidating her, Grace must put her faith in unlikely sources
to learn the true meaning of courage and forgiveness.

My Review:
This historical christian novel is the first book I've read by author Cindy Thomson. The book is set in New York from an Irish immigrants point of view of coming to America to find a better way of life. The book kept a good pace and the story followed along nicely and kept you engaged along the way. Grace is prideful, strong and determined in life, yet after her camera is stolen and she feels she had to give up the dream of bringing her mother to America, Grace quickly becomes a humbled relying on her faith to get her through. Owen is a kind police officer who has a servants heart, always striving to help others out and placing them first, yet he to is searching for an escape from his life and finds it in helping Grace.
