Description
Easter 1916 marks a pivotal moment in Irish history, as a small group of nationalists refuse to fight for Britain and strike a blow for Irish freedom. Against this backdrop, 12-year-old Molly O'Donovan finds herself caught up in the action in Dublin. Her family is torn apart by the conflict, with her father dodging crossfire and her brother running messages for the rebels. As violence and looting erupt in the streets, Molly risks her own safety to help the wounded on both sides. She records her experiences in a diary, detailing the Proclamation at the GPO, the battle of Mount Street, and the arrival of the British Troops.
