The Ground She Walks Upon
“O'Shea's crop had to be eaten or it was forever lost. As many a soul had tragically learned, once blight took hold of a field, even the apparently healthy potatoes could not be stored, for they, too, would mildew.

Even if they never got around to eating all those potatoes, O'Shea would be salvaged and, if they were lucky, the blight could be s...topped at his field. If they all stuck together, Grania had sagely advised Ravenna, the agony that had occurred elsewhere might not happen in Lir.With several silver coins in her purse, Ravenna struck out on the high road to help bail poor Michael O'Shea and his sons out of their misery.
