By 1845, Nory Ryan's family has lived on the west coast of Ireland for generations. Maidin Bay is a beautiful place, but life there is hard. Every year the family plants potatoes while Da sails away on a fishing boat to earn the rent money. But a terrible blight attacks the potato crop, and Da does not return when he should. Nory must summon the courage and ingenuity to find food, to find hope, and to help her family survive. Newbery Honor-winning author Patricia Reilly Giff combines family history and years of research in Ireland with deceptively simple language in this moving story.
