Lorraine and her brother are waiting for the time to pick the potato crop on their family farm leased from an English landowner. But this year is different--the spuds are mushy and ruined. What will Lorraine and her family do? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen Lorraine meets Miss Susannah, the daughter of the wealthy English landowner who owns Lorraine's family's farm, and the girls form an unlikely friendship that they must keep a secret from everyone. Two different cultures come together in a deserted Irish meadow. And Lorraine has one question: how can she help her family survive? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA little known part of history, the Irish potato famine altered history forever and caused a great immigration in the later part of the 1800s.
