Leaving Ireland by Ann Moore

Set against the backdrop of the Great Famine in the mid-19th century, the story follows the journey of a resilient young Irish woman, Gracelin O'Malley, as she faces the heart-wrenching decision to leave her homeland in search of a better life in America. Torn between the love for her family and the hope for a brighter future, she embarks on a perilous voyage across the Atlantic, confronting the harsh realities of emigration and the challenges of adapting to a new world. Her tale is one of courage, survival, and the enduring spirit of those who dared to dream beyond the shores of Ireland.
