During WWII, 12-year-old Dory Byrne and her brothers are forced to hide out in an abandoned hotel when their new landlord turns them in for being on their own and discover that when things get tough, the neighborhood really will give you what you need?â?even a miracle or two. Simultaneous eBook. - Random House, Inc.
From the author of A Place to Hang the Moon comes a hopeful World War II story about three scrappy siblings on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
When 12-year-old Dory Byrneâs pop left New York Cityâs Lower East Side to fight Hitler, he promised her and her brothers that theyâd be safe. Like he always said, âthe neighborhood will give you what you need.âÂ
Thereâs the lady from the bakery, who saves them leftover crullers. The kind landlord who checks in on them. And every Thursday night, the Byrnes enjoy a free bowl of seafood stew at Mr. Caputoâs restaurant. . . which is where Dory learns about the abandoned hand-pulled elevator that is the only way to get to Caputoâs upper floors.Â
But when a new landlord threatens their home in the community thatâs raised them and kept them safe, the secret elevatorâand the abandoned hotel it leads toâprovides just the solution they need.
Based on a very real place in old New York and steeped in the history of World War II, Nothing Else but Miracles is a warm and inviting story of resilience, the tight-knit community of the Lower East Side, and the miracles that await in unexpected places.
