Wonderful story but incredibly sad

Another fabulous story by Kathleen McGurl. I really loved this story and was so drawn in to the characters. I learned so much about the Potato Famine in Ireland. I had heard of it but knew so,little. This book was a real lesson for me. I thought the relationship between Maria and Dan was a bit prolonged and repetitive thus the lower rate for the story. But that wasn’t any sort of drawback at all. I love this authors stories. Just have a couple more to go. Would highly recommend this book but keep the tissue handy!

Adored!!! Must Read

I adored this story. The characters are well thought out and developed. It allows the reader to gain an insight into Ireland's potato famine and the loss so many experienced. Really touching. I'd listen again multiple times and have considered purchasing a hard copy of this book. Avena does a great job with intination and emotion and accents 💕
