Author's Note

I am the author of The Age of Immigration: Sisters in Time 17. I wrote this novel to share the story of my great-great-grandmothers, who immigrated to the United States from Ireland in the 1840s. I hope that this novel will inspire readers to learn more about the immigrant experience and to appreciate the contributions that immigrants have made to the United States.
