When I read under the Hawthorn Tree I was greatly moved by the tragedy of the famine and the bravery of three young children risking everything to escape having to go to a workhouse and making the long journey across Ireland to reach the cttage of their two aunts. I couldn't wait to read the next in the series, Wild Flower Girl, I found even better that the first, I could really imagin myself making that boat trip to America all on my own-terifying! I am still reading Fields of home at the moment and so far it is definitely living up to my expectations! Laura Jones

I love Under the Hawthorn Tree, Wildflower girl and fields of home. In fields of home alot of things happen. First of all it's hell for Eily and John to try to raise money to buy their house. Eventually a special surprise comes along. Meanwhile Peggy is devastated to find her best friend Kitty is leaving. This book is exxxxxxxxxcellant! I wold give it 6 crowns if I could.
