What if you wake up tomorrow and there is nothing to eat? Not only no left-over pizza or fried chicken in the fridge. That’s true enough. But there’s no milk either—and no cereal in the cupboard, no turnips or onions in the veggie bin, nothing waiting to be defrosted in the freezer... What would you do? In "Greener Grass" we find out what the families of Ireland did in the face of hunger in 1846. That's when the Grey Man came in the night and rotted all the potatoes in their fields. Without their crops, these people had nothing to eat at all. Starvation and illness marched in the wake of the dreaded potato blight. How DID they survive? "Greener Grass" shows how hope inspires people in the face of the worst odds. This moving tale brings the past to life. From Caroline’s vivid pen flows a message: with a little faith, we can find a way. First book of a trilogy.
