The potato crop has failed two years in a row. People are in the throes of starvation, and young Bridget Sweeney must witness things that no nine-year-old should have to bear: Whole families stricken with fever, corpses littering the roadsides, and her own family forcibly evicted in the dead of night. Through a mix of dogged determination, sheer luck, perhaps even divine grace, they join the historic Irish diaspora, making their way to England and ultimately to North America. In \u003cem\u003eBrideen\u003c\/em\u003e author Kathleen McDonnell draws on fragmentary family records, centuries-old newspaper articles, even lyrics from traditional ballads to ensure that her ancestor's gripping story of survival will not be lost to history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKathleen McDonnell has published eleven books of fiction and non-fiction, and her plays have been produced across Canada and the United States.
