Description

A mother and daughter confront the violence of their past in this enthralling novel about love and redemption during times of turmoil. Set against the backdrop of Northern Ireland's final years of conflict, the story follows Bríd as she joins the IRA and makes a devastating choice, forcing her to flee and leave behind her family. Years later, Bríd is an overprotective mother raising her sensitive daughter Bernie in Southern California. As they navigate their complicated relationship, they are forced to return to Northern Ireland, where they must confront the past, present, and the women they've become. This powerful exploration of love, violence, and secrets that bind families together will leave a lasting impact. As Bríd and Bernie untangle the threads of their troubled legacies, they discover that the past is never truly buried, but can instead shape and define them in profound ways.
