The American Girl by Rachael English
Inspired by heartbreaking true events in a home for unwed mothers, The American Girl is a powerful story of love and cruelty, mothers and daughters—and the triumph of hope across generations.
Boston, 1968: Seventeen-year-old Rose Moroney is smart, spirited—and pregnant. While she longs to marry her boyfriend, her ambitious parents send her to Ireland, their homeland, to give birth in a home for unwed mothers—and to give up her baby against her will.
Dublin, 2013: Martha Sheeran’s life is unraveling. Her marriage has collapsed, and her husband has already moved on. Pushed by her teenage daughter, she begins searching for the woman who gave her up over forty years ago.
As Martha’s search uncovers long-buried family secrets, an old flame resurfaces. Could the future still hold an unexpected new beginning?
