About this ebook

An Irish mother faces her destiny in California as the acclaimed trilogy comes to an end—“a vibrant picture of American history in the mid-19th century” (Historical Novel Society).

With her two children, Gracelin O’Malley travels to post–Gold Rush San Francisco to meet the sea captain who has proposed marriage to her. But when she arrives, he is nowhere to be found. Destitute in a city filled with gangs, disillusioned soldiers, and professional gamblers, Grace takes a position as a cook for one of the city’s most prominent doctors—only to become caught up in a tangled web of blackmail and betrayal. Determined to make a secure life for her children and find her brother, Sean, Gracelin sets in motion a series of events that change the future of everyone around her, never dreaming that the man she thought she’d lost forever is still alive and determined to find his way back to her.

Dickensian in scope, with a full cast of riveting characters, Ann Moore’s ’Til Morning Light is the stunning conclusion to the enthralling story of Gracelin O’Malley, a heroine for the ages.

    'Til Morning Light is the third book in the trilogy about Gracelin O'Malley. Gracelin and her two children are in San Francisco, where she's come, deciding finally to marry Captain Reinders, only to find he's still at sea.The book is full of surprises that I won't mention here for fear of spoilers, but suffice it to say that the ending is very satisfying.'Til Morning Light, and the rest of the trilogy, is a wonderful look at a period of history, brought to life by the stories of these fascinating characters.
