and rich characters. This gripping story about two "brothers" in
arms and a young woman caught in between them hits all the right
chords." —Publishers Weekly

capturing the flavor of the period. A sweeping yet intimate novel
that will please both romantics and lovers of American
history."

Praise for Kristina McMorris's other novels
"Richly woven and absorbing tale... compelling tale of survival and
second chances, and of one immigrant's fantastic journey in the
first decades of the 20th century." —The Boston Globe on The Edge
of Lost
"The reader traipses through the early 1900s from Dublin bars to
19th-century Brooklyn, N.Y. We meet historical figures in passing
like the vaudeville performer George M. Cohan and Al Capone along
the way...Themes of shifting identity and assimilation run through
the book." —The Portland Tribune on The Edge of Lost
"Kristina McMorris evokes such a strong sense of place that to open
her books feels less like reading and more like traveling. Her
absorbing new novel..[is an] epic, deeply felt tale of struggle and
second chances... a transporting piece of historical fiction."
—BookPage on The Edge of Lost
"McMorris's attention to historical detail captures the poignancy
of old letters or treasured relics that have borne witness to
ancestral emotions." —The Bellingham Herald on The Pieces We Keep
