review 1: As usual Cheryl St.John has crafted another keeper. Great characters that are warm, caring and totally believable. Wonderful details are woven in about life aboard an immigrant ship and the devastation of the potato famine in Ireland. The Murphy sisters are forced to leave the only home they've ever known when their Dad dies. After the funeral, when they are packing to leave, they find a letter addressed to their Mother and a deed to a home in America. With no money and no opportunties for jobs, the three sisters decide to spend the last of their money on passage to America. The people and conditions they encounter on their trip are a wonderful cross-section of humanity, both the good and the bad. The heroine Maeve's journey is heart warming and wonderful. This book... more is definitely going on my keeper shelf.
review 2: I received a copy of The Wedding Journey through Goodreads as a first-read. The three Murphy sisters have no option but to find a new home following the death of their father. With the Ireland people impoverished by the potato famine and aristocratic landlords without a conscience, the sisters embark on a ship for America. After finding a letter to their late mother and a deed to a house in America hidden behind a painting, they once again are given the hope they had been praying for. When a young boy is gravely injured following an episode instigated by the assistant of the ship's doctor, Maeve Murphy actions instinctively and saves the boys life when the assistant can't be bothered with a hurt street urchin and walks away. Doctor Flynn Gallagher, upon hearing what happened, fires his assistant and hires Maeve. Having spent all but a tiny amount of their money on passage, Maeve's sisters are thrilled to have a source of income aboard ship. As time passes and they work closely together, Flynn realizes he has finally found a woman who shares his passion for healing and genuinely cares for others. But can Flynn move past the loss of his wife and young son to a devastating illness? And can he convince Maeve that she is his future?While reading this book, I found myself taking my time - simply because I didn't want it to end! I have read several novels by Cheryl St. John previously, and I have enjoyed each and every one of them. This one was no exception! I look forward to the remaining books in the series, and will read each and every one. less
