Bird Mallon and Thomas Neary are
about to begin a wonderful friendship.
Water Street
PATRICIA REILLY GIFF
BROOKLYN, 1875: BIRD MALLON lives on Water Street where you can
see the huge towers of the bridge to Manhattan being built. Bird wants
nothing more in life than to be a healer, to help her sister find love, and to
convince her brother to stop fighting for money with his street gang. And
she wishes that a girl would move into the empty apartment upstairs so
that she can have a new friend close by. But Thomas Neary and his Pop
move in upstairs. Thomas, who has a secret that only Bird suspects, and
who turns out to be the best friend Bird could ever have.
