1800년 대 후반, 가난한 아일랜드의 마을.
그나마 마을에 있던 공장들이 다 문을 닫자, 많은 이들이 새로운 삶의 터전을 마련하기 위해 미국으로 이민을 떠납니다. 피오나의 가족 역시 예외는 아니었지요. 엄마와 아빠는 미국의 한 가정에서 몇 년간 무급으로 일한다는 조건으로 간신히 가족의 이주 비용을 마련했습니다.
바다를 건너 도착한 곳은 멋진 건물과 세련된 사람들로 가득한 시카고였습니다. 하지만 피오나 가족의 거처는 변두리에 있는 다 쓰러져가는 초라한 낡은집이었습니다. 피오나의 부모님은 무급 노동이 끝나면, 생활비를 벌기 위해 밤 늦게까지 다른 일을 해야했습니다. 피오나는 비록 어리지만 어른만큼 레이스를 잘 짰습니다. 그리고 레이스를 판 돈은 한 푼도 쓰지 않고 저금통에 모아 두었습니다.
그러던 어느 날 시카고에 대 화재가 발생했습니다. 엄마 아빠도 없는 집에서 피오나와 어린 동생은 어떻게 해야할지, 어디로 가야할지 알 수 없었습니다. 피오나는 어린 동생과, 본인이 짜던 레이스, 저금통 등 세 가지를 챙겨 나왔습니다. 다시는 엄마 아빠를 볼 수 없을 거라며 우는 동생을 달래가며, 피오나는 자신의 레이스를 찢어 동생과 본인이 가는 길에 하나씩 신호처럼 남겨놓았습니다. 힘들게 짠 레이스였지만, 이것만이 부모님이 이들을 찾을 수 있는 유일한 희망이었지요. 그리고 다음 날 레이스 조각을 보고 따라온 부모님과 기적처럼 재회합니다...
튼튼한 하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
An Irish family stays together with the help of Fiona’s talent for making one-of-a-kind lace in this heartwarming immigration story from the New York Times bestselling creator of The Keeping Quilt.
Many years ago, times were hard in all of Ireland, so when passage to America becomes available, Fiona and her family travel to Chicago. They find work in domestic service to pay back their passage, and at night Fiona turns tangles of thread into a fine, glorious lace. Then when the family is separated, it is the lace that Fiona’s parents follow to find her and her sister and bring the family back together. And it is the lace that will always provide Fiona with memories of Ireland and of her mother’s words: “In your heart your true home resides, and it will always be with you as long as you remember those you love.”
This generational story from the family of Patricia Polacco’s Irish father brims with the same warmth and heart as the classic The Keeping Quilt and The Blessing Cup, which Kirkus Reviews called “deeply affecting” in a starred review, and embraces the comfort of family commitment and togetherness that Patricia Polacco’s books are known for.
School Library Journal
Once again, Polacco has drawn on a rich family history to present this story of courage, perseverance, and love. Young Fiona Hughes and her younger sister, Ailish, loved to hear their father's "grand stories," but their favorite was the one of how their parents met. Mick passed the lace parlor each day at lunch and took a liking to a young lass who worked there. None of the other girls, however, would tell him where she lived. One day he noticed a bit of fine lace tied to a bush and then another a bit farther away tied to a tree and then another, and another. The trail led straight to Annie's house and the couple's eventual marriage. Annie taught her fine skills to Fiona, a talent that would prove both profitable and lifesaving. When the local mill closed, the family left Ireland to work for a wealthy family in Chicago; in exchange for their work, their passage was taken care of, so they received no pay. Fiona's fine lace was beautiful, and there was a market for it, so she made lace while her parents had second jobs in the evenings, including the night of the Great Fire. Abandoning their home for a safer place that fateful night, Fiona and Ailish remembered their father's story and left a trail of lace to direct their parents to them. An endnote explains that a framed piece of Fiona's lace still rests with honor in Polacco's home. Illustrated with pencil and acetone markers in Polacco's recognizable style, this is a story with many themes and lessons - the love of family, the immigrant experience, and family history and stories passing from generation to generation, to name a few. It's sure to find an appreciative audience.
Publishers Weekly
"Polacco adds to her library of autobiographical stories with this tale about her Irish forebear Fiona. Polacco’s valuable portrait of hardship in Ireland and her descriptions of the unjust working conditions that émigrés encountered in the U.S. supplies a gritty picture of the immigrant experience. " Publishers Weekly -- Publishers Weekly, June 16, 2014
