Book excerpt: West Cork, Ireland 1919An Irish doctor sickened by one war. His children determined to fight the next. When Dr. Richard Buckley returns home to Ireland to his wife and beloved hometown of Dunderrig, his mind is wearied by the ravages of The Great War. Disillusioned by the horror and pointlessness of battle, his civilian transition strains more than just his state of mind, as his marriage crumbles beneath the weight of duty. Out of the rubble of this doomed relationship, twins James and Juliet arrive-born into an uncertain and hostile new world. Against the backdrop of this idyllic town, this story takes you to the furthest reaches of Nazi occupied Europe. James and Juliet come of age in a world on the brink of chaos, where the remnants of rebellion at home have snowballed into the unthinkable horrors of yet another world war.James and Juliet find themselves embroiled in the conflict in ways that tests everything they thought to be true. Historically rich and moving, the story of this Irish family, caught in the throes of wartime Europe is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and the enduring power of love.
