Nory, 12, lives with her motherless family on the west coast of Ireland in the mid-1800s. While her father is away fishing at sea, a blight strikes their potato crop, and their harsh English landlord begins destroying neighbors' cottages for non-payment of rent. When severe hunger threatens, Nory's resourcefulness and loyalty help those she loves to escape to a better life in America.
