When fiery and idealistic Kitty O’Kane escapes the crushing poverty of Dublin’s tenements, she’s determined that no one should ever suffer like she did. As she sets out to save the world, she finds herself at the forefront of events that shaped the early twentieth century. While working as a maid, she survives the sinking of the Titanic. As a suffragette in New York’s Greenwich Village, she’s jailed for breaking storefront windows. And traveling war-torn Europe as a journalist, she’s at the Winter Palace when it’s stormed by the Bolsheviks. Ultimately she returns to her homeland to serve as a nurse in the Irish Civil War. During Kitty’s remarkable journey, she reunites with her childhood sweetheart, Tom Doyle, but Tom doesn’t know everything about her past—a past that continues to haunt her. Will Kitty accept that before she can save everyone else, she needs to find a way to save herself? Or will the sins of her past stop her from pursuing her own happiness? From the Editor What I love most about Kitty, the star of this riveting novel, is her complexity. Kitty is no one-dimensional heroine. She makes mistakes. She doubts herself. She falls for the wrong men. She flip-flops between believing it’s her destiny to change the world and believing that it’s just a fluke that she’s survived at all. Kitty lives through some of the most treacherous and pivotal events of the early twentieth century—from the sinking of the Titanic to the Russian Revolution to the battlefields of the Irish Civil War—all the while riding her luck. Or is it luck? She certainly wasn’t lucky as a child. Raised in extreme poverty in the Dublin tenements, she barely scraped by. Relying on her grit and smarts, Kitty eventually flees the grim despair of the tenements and tries to shake her harrowing past. She’s determined to do whatever she can so other young girls won’t suffer the same deprivations she did. Her path isn’t easy, but along the way she chances upon incredible beauty, hope, and love. And even when she’s completely disillusioned by the corruption and deceit around her, she remains true to her heart. In these uncertain times Kitty is just the sort of heroine I need—someone unsure of herself, imperfect, but unwavering in her pursuit of a better world.
