Johanna Lane presents here a terribly sad story with a wonderful mix of fact and fiction from the past. Lane bases this family history on the Scots who came to Ireland during the famine and who took advantage of the people, evicted them from their land, and starved them out. The Scots built great houses in Ireland, and this book includes such a house based on one which the author knew of as a child.
