New immigrant Sadie - fresh from her small hometown in Ireland - moves to the US on a tourist visa for three months. In order to remain in the country, she decides go for the elusive "O1" visa - for “persons of extraordinary ability”. As Sadie pursues her quest for legal status, she joins a collective called "Nature Fans", whose members are also on a clock, trying to figure out how to stay in the country. Together the group alternately fights and works the system and grows close in the process.

As an eternally curious outsider, Maeve Higgins can see that the United States is still an experiment. Some parts work well and others really don’t, but that doesn't stop her from loving the place and the people that make it. With piercing political commentary in a sweet and salty tone, these essays unearth answers to the questions we all have about this country we call home; the beauty of it all and the dark parts too.

Maeve Higgins was a best-selling memoirist and comedian in her native Ireland when, at the grand old age of 31, she left the only home she’d ever known in search of something more. Like many women in their early 30s, she both was and was not the adult she wanted to be. At once smart, curious, and humane, Maeve in America is the story of how Maeve found herself, literally and figuratively, in New York City.
