This is the story of Nory’s voyage
from Ireland to America.
Maggie’s Door
PATRICIA REILLY GIFF
WE WILL DANCE on the cliffs of Brooklyn.
Many readers of Nory Ryan’s Song wondered what happened to Nory, who
set out alone on the road to Galway, hoping to find her family and sail for
Brooklyn, America. Maggie’s Door is the story of the journey from Ireland
to America told by both Nory and her neighbor Sean Red Mallon. Here are
two different stories with the same destination: the home of Nory’s sister
Maggie in Brooklyn. The passage is harrowing, but Nory and Sean are
pulled onward by a single dream: to reach Maggie’s door.
★ “Vivid language, attention to detail, and fully realized characters . . .
heart-wrenching and unforgettable.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred
“Giff brings the immigration history to life.”—Booklist
“A welcome addition to any historical fiction collection.”
—School Library Journal
