What happens when an American woman marries a perfectly ordinary Irish professor, hoping to settle down to a tranquil life in Dublin? Answer: A murder. A dilemma. And an abrupt move to Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, where she is thrust into the center of a violent political conflict that threatens to destroy her marriage--and perhaps her life.

From the Author
A book about an American woman's love for an Irish activist
As an author, and an Irish-American, I feel a lot of passion for Ireland, both North and South. In my novel, BORDER CROSSINGS, I've written the story of an American woman's love for her Irish husband, a professor at Dublin's Trinity College. When his brother is murdered by Protestant extremists, he moves Kathy and their young son, Sean, to his hometown of Enniskillen, where she must adapt to life in a frequently violent society. I hope readers of BORDER CROSSINGS will come away with a better understanding of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, as seen through the eyes of an American woman, desperate to hold onto her love for her husband, yet afraid for their very lives. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Hardcover
This book was my first glimpse into the horrendous personal sacrifice and pain caused by The Troubles. My heart was filled with anger, frustration, sorrow, joy and exhilaration as I turned each page through Kathy's life and the course of history in Ireland.

Format:Hardcover
I was mesmerized with every page! I was engrossed with every experience Kathy encountered. To me the charactes were so vivid; I fell in love with some and hated some. It really brings emotion while you read. This book is one of the best I've ever read and I'm anxiously awaiting Bellacera's next novel!
