Finches in Kilmainham by D. Walsh Gilbert

 This is a fictional verse-story of Ann Gallagher, also known as Dill, jailed in 1850s Ireland—just one little girl trying to make her way in the world even as the evils of famine, nationalism, and anti-Catholicism conspire to test her courage and restrain her from finding her true Irish roots. Although Dill and the others represented in the poems are fictional characters, their experiences accurately reflect those of far too many people who suffered through similar ordeals. The stunning lyricism of the poems in this book make their situation all the more poignant.
