It's October 1845, in the midst of the Great Potato Famine. Claire's father is dead, her brother is in America and her mother is dangerously ill, with the business she owns, The Irish Emporium, threatened as well. With no money, no food, and no medicine, it looks like Claire's family has no hope either. There's one chance Claire has to save her mother and the family business, but it involves leaving everything behind and making a one-way journey across the Atlantic, and Claire will have to sacrifice everything to save all she holds dear. ▶2nd Place Historical Fiction in Neon Awards 2018 ▶Tied 1st Place Historical Fiction in Brewing Flair Awards 2018 Currently on hold.
