Chapter 1 Leaving Home
When Dad came in from the fields today, Cara was crying."She's hungry," said Mam.I was hungry, too. But I wasn't crying.
I am seven years old plus two whole months, so I have to help.
Dad gave Cara a cuddle and she stopped howling.Soon, we will have another baby.
I really want a brother.
"How are the potatoes?" asked Mam.I held my breath.
"The potatoes are ruined," said Dad."We cannot eat or sell them."When I let my breath out, it sounded like a sigh.
"We have to leave Ireland," said Mam."We have a family to look after, and not enough food."
"We should go to North America like the Sullivans," said Dad.

"Your Uncle Paddy will help us get settled there," said Dad.
Uncle Paddy is my favorite uncle.If he was brave enough to go to America, I can be brave, too.
