{"product_id":"so-far-away-meg-mitchell-moore-9780316097703","title":"So Far Away","description":"Thirteen-year-old Natalie Gallagher is trying to escape: from her parents' ugly divorce, and from the vicious cyber-bullying of her former best friend. Adrift, confused, she is a girl trying to find her way in a world that seems to either neglect or despise her. Her salvation arrives in an unlikely form: Bridget O'Connell, an Irish maid working for a wealthy Boston family. The catch? Bridget lives only in the pages of a dusty old 1920s diary Natalie unearthed in her mother's basement. But the life she describes is as troubling -- and mysterious -- as the one Natalie is trying to navigate herself, almost a century later. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e I am writing this down because this is my story. There were only ever two people who knew my secret, and both are gone before me. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Who was Bridget, and what became of her? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Natalie escapes into the diary, eager to unlock its secrets, and reluctantly accepts the help of library archivist Kathleen Lynch, a widow with her own painful secret: she's estranged from her only daughter. Kathleen sees in Natalie traces of the daughter she has lost, and in Bridget, another spirited young woman at risk. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What could an Irish immigrant domestic servant from the 1920s teach them both? As the troubles of a very modern world close in around them, and Natalie's torments at school escalate, the faded pages of Bridget's journal unite the lonely girl and the unhappy widow . . . and might even change their lives forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meg Mitchell Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316097705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316097703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Back Bay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.53w x 0.94d","brand":"Meg Mitchell Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990142451967,"sku":"9780316097703","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6553d4f5-16f9-4b6a-b605-7283f5eaf891.jpg?v=1683303242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/so-far-away-meg-mitchell-moore-9780316097703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
