On a wintry night in Oct 1937, searchlights trim through the darkness around Alcatraz. A jail guard's only little princess - one of the youngest civilians who lives on the island - has truly gone missing. Tending the warden's greenhouse, convicted loan provider robber Tommy Capello waits anxiously. Only he is aware the truth about the tiny girl's whereabouts and this both of their lives depend on the search's results. Almost two decades earlier and a large number of miles away, a young boy named Shanley Keagan ekes out a full time income as an aspiring vaudevillian in Dublin pubs. Proficient and shrewd, Shan dreams of shedding his dingy lifestyle and finding his real daddy in America. The chance finally comes to cross the Atlantic, however when tragedy hits, Shan must summon all his ingenuity to forge a new life in a volatile and international world. Skillfully weaving both of these testimonies, Kristina McMorris delivers a compelling book that goes from Ireland to NY to the San Francisco Bay. As her finely crafted characters uncover the true characteristics of loyalty, sacrifice, and betrayal, they may be compelled to confront the lies we inform - and imagine - to be able to survive.
