Her mother's soup is little more than water and her childhood friend has died from the potato famine plaguing the region. Tessa vowed to never leave her home and family, but when her father is jailed, leaving the family even more penniless, Tessa is sent to America for a marriage of convenience, with hope to send money back to her family. While her journey on the famine ship is isolating and tumultuous, her red-headed temper and youthful curiosity carry her through. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eTessa's Landing \u003c\/em\u003ewe see the sorrow and triumph of the Irish immigrant experience, and how one girl's self-determination leads to survival in a new world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maureen Brady\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rootstock Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 338\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781578692262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrady, Maureen:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Maureen Brady has published the novels Getaway; Ginger's Fire; Folly; and Give Me Your Good Ear; a collection of short stories, The Question She Put to Herself; and the nonfiction Daybreak: Meditations for Women Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse; Midlife: Meditations for Women; and Beyond Survival.
