These are two wonderful books about the Potatoe Famine in Ireland. I was more upset about this book than I was about the Hunger Games. Again, who do these people think they are that they can control and destroy so many lives?
This story is about a young girl named Nory Ryan and how her family is affected by the potatoe famine in Ireland. This incedent brought millions of Emmigrants from Ireland to the United States, a place they sought refuge and hoped for a better life. The second one is about her journey to America.
I admired this young girl for her courage and her attitude. Sometimes when I fast or skip a meal or two I complain about how hungry I am. These people were sucking on blades of grass for any thing to fill their stomachs. It humbled me tremendously and made me realize that she truly wanted to live and save her family and she was willing to do anything to accomplish that! Nothing is impossible if you truly believe in it and want it!
