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.
