Description

Cate Leary disembarks from The Liberty into the tumultuous life of 1860 Philadelphia, a city, like herself, caught in the throes of change and controversy, struggling with identity.

Tasked by a dying mother with the safety of her younger sister in a strange city wracked by a controversy over abolition vs slavery, the odds of success appear overwhelming for her. Circumstances beyond her control play havoc with each step forward, at times the burden more than she can bear alone.

A determination forged in the years of Ireland’s great hunger becomes her best ally as she, like all immigrants even to present day, works to build a successful future and fulfill a vow made to her dying mother.

A Note From the Publisher

An avid genealogist, Sharon became intrigued about her Irish family’s story of immigration and the resulting integration into life in Philadelphia, which gave rise to Lippincott Street. She holds a Master of Education degree and has taught writing skills to students from elementary to college level. Born in Pennsylvania, Sharon now lives with her husband in Columbia, South Carolina, where she enjoys gardening, traveling, playing the piano, and journaling.

Advance Praise

"Lippincott Street by Sharon A. Ewing does an incredible job of capturing the immigrant experience with an openness that is both emotional and raw. Through Cate’s character, we witness resilience shaped by prejudice, poverty, and despair. What makes Cate's story very memorable is how the author doesn’t gloss over her struggles. Rather, Ewing places readers inside Cate's daily experiences of misfortune. Cate’s character growth demonstrates that women often bear not just the responsibility of caring for their families and loved ones, but also the duty of nurturing communities as they face loss and the challenge of reconstructing their lives." - Readers' Favorite
