Synopsis
Sally O’Moyne is a schoolgirl who lives with three generations of an eccentric Irish family, including her Grandpa Pat Ryan, who pretends to be close to death. One day at school she can’t find her lunch pail so she prays to Saint Anne, asking for her intercession. When her lunch pail is returned to her, Sally begins to believe Saint Anne is performing miracles for her, and her neighbors ask her to pray to the saint for their requests.[1] A few years later land-grabbing Alderman McCarthy wants the O’Mayne’s off of their property, and Sally turns to Saint Anne to help them keep their house.[2]
