This book goes back and forth between modern times and the Irish potato famine. Modern times follows a stay-at-home mom of a new baby trying to get used to her new life and dealing with postpartum depression. A bit overdone, but some humorous aspects. The part set in Ireland dealt with a mother trying to find a way to care for her children. If you read the Outside Boy, you will know that Cummins writing is well worth the read. ARC books available on forum, none of these books listed yet.
