Autumntide

Autumntide--It was the season when young girls from County Mayo came down to the shore, when bonfires blazed and maidens tempted the Na Buctogai that lived in the pounding waves. A season when twins were born to Mary and Liam Malloy--children born of poverty, separated by a jealous woman, destined to grow apart. And as the ravages of famine struck the people of Ireland, the Malloys faced the terror of starvation and discovered the courageous power of a young man's dream...This is the story of those anguished years of hunger--of the jealousy and love, the devastating sorrow and the boundless faith of a family trapped in a land's misery...but determined to survive.
