Ireland, Autumn 1845. The potato blight turns green fields black overnight. A million will die. A million more will flee. But Liam O'Donaghue refuses to watch his family starve. In the shadow of Galway's cliffs, Liam has carved out a life training Connemara ponies while working on his landlord's estate and loving his wife Máire. When their newborn son arrives, their happiness seems complete. But when the Great Famine strikes with merciless fury, survival becomes the only currency that matters.
