Grace McCaffery is an Irish immigrant, sent to America by her stepfather in order for her to find a better life. She is sent to a home that specializes in helping immigrants find a job and she soon finds a job working as a nanny for a family with three kids and one on the way. Grace finds herself interested in photography and soon purchases a brownie camera and begins taking photos of the life around her. However, when local gangsters believe that Grace has taken a picture of their leader, she finds herself in danger as the gangsters seek a way to get that picture.
Grace must look to the police to help her, though she still has a distrust of them from her life in Ireland. Will Owen, an officer intent on getting the gangs of the street and helping the immigrants, be able to gain Graces trust?

This book was full of adventure and action as we follow Grace and Owens story. It was interesting reading about some of the immigration process as well as reading about the gangs that roamed the streets. I also enjoyed learning a bit about the brownie camera and the time when photography was not as popular as it is now. There was a lot of historical detail and interesting facts to be learned in this book as well as an interesting story to bring all the details together. My only complaint is that it seemed a little slow at times, but I still greatly enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to reading more from this author.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. All opinions stated are my own.
