Lizzie, 20, laundress of Legananny, Northern Ireland sets off with her half sister, Eliza, and her cousin, James, by ship to America. This is the story of her voyage, her immigration and her adventures as an indentured servant for a prominent religious family in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts for one year. Boston of 1892 is a cauldron of political upheaval, new inventions, and deep-seated prejudice against the Irish. If Lizzie avoids being sent home for her temper or incompetence in the kitchen, will she find employment in a world where "no Irish need apply"? Will she marry the minister who loves her and be confined to a life contrary to her fiery, headstrong nature? Will her family in Ireland still watch for the selfsame moon and stars she sees, and will she ever see her family again? Lizzie begins her journey full of energy, hope, and adventure. She decides in a new land, in new circumstances, she can be anyone she wants to be. However, while she learns to be an indentured servant, what she thinks she wants begins to evolve. The Selfsame Moon and Stars is the second book in the Legananny Legacy trilogy."
