I'm reading Under the Hawtron Tree by Marita Conlon-McKenna.
I've just started reading this book and it is great so far. Now I'm going to show you the blurb.
Ireland in the 1840's is devastated by FAMINE! When tragedy strikes their family, Eily, Michael and Peggy are left to fend for themselves.
Starving and in danger of being sent to workhouse, they escape. Their only hope is to find the great-aunts they have heard about in their mother's stories.

There are a series of these books and this is the first, I have the first 3 books.
