Border Crossings

by Carole Bellacera

Kathy O'Faolain has everything she's ever wished for -- a loving husband, a satisfying job helping troubled teens, and an adorable son. She lives with her Irish husband, Pearse; in Dublin -- but her life is forever changed when Pearse's brother is murdered by Protestant terrorists in Northern Ireland. When Pearse feels obligated to return home to the north and take over his brother's role as Republican activist. Kathy's life is turned upside down. Struggling to understand the hate that plagues this troubled land, she watches the violence creep closer and closer to the people she loves -- and soon she must make a heartbreaking choice between her husband and her son's future.
