Travel with young Timothy O'Malley and his family as they depart their beloved Ireland in 1917, setting sail for the magic land called America; leaving behind grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles and friends; some of whom they knew they would never see again. Stand with the O'Mallys on the deck of the transatlantic ocean liner as they say their tearful good-byes and set sail for the other side of the world. Feel the wonderment young Timmy experiences as he sets out to learn all he can about the people and the country he will soon call home. Feel the excitement as it mounts in anticipation of seeing the beautiful and magic statue called Lady Liberty when he and his little sister Molly spot her for the first time far off on the horizon. Walk with Timothy as he begins his journey in Brooklyn, New York; the strange new city in this strange new land. Tag along as Timmy learns the importance of true friendship and the value of trust and love. Keep in step with Timmy as he grows from little boy to young man; meeting the challenges of life in a new country that takes him on his journey into manhood.
