Product Description
It's 1845 in Ireland and Mary, a typical young girl who loves nothing more than spending time with her family, and her friends in the local hedge school, is devastated when her world is turned upside down by the potato blight.
In a matter of one day her life is torn apart by a scourge she can barely understand as neighbours and friends fall foul of dreaded disease; and she is forced to stay at home and help out where she can.
As Mary's parents reluctantly work on the roads to make ends meet, she puts on a brave face at home with her younger siblings and ailing grandmother - but inside she is crying. Eventually the whole family is forced to turn to the workhouse for food and shelter but, despite getting on with it, Mary longs for her family to reunite and live happily ever after.
Their only hope? Granda's gold...
