Kathleen and her younger sister, Tara, travel to America using money sent by American, Galen McKnight, who was saved by their father. Their father, unfortunately, lost his life in the rescue. The two, living in a poverty stricken fishing village, mistakenly believe that the money was sent for them to travel to America and live under Galen's protection.
Galen is flummoxed when the two bedraggled females arrive at his gambling boat. Twelve year old Tara, who has 'the sight', constantly disrupts his orderly gambling establishment. Kathleen disrupts his whole being.
The two have a battle of wills over just about everything but eventually love wins.
My favourite character was Tara.
