In "Nory Ryan's Song" by Patricia Reilly Giff, set in 1845 Ireland during the potato famine, young Nory Ryan faces tremendous challenges as her family struggles to survive. As food becomes scarce, Nory's spirit remains unbroken; she dreams of a better future and cares for her family and friends. With the help of her loyal companions and her determination, Nory embarks on a journey filled with hope and resilience. Together, they navigate the hardships of their reality while holding onto their heritage and the power of music, which serves as a source of comfort and strength during difficult times.
