(Continued from "A Place of Safety-New World For Old)

Brendan is called home to see his mother before she dies of cancer. Using the chaos of the hunger strikes, he sneaks into Derry despite knowing the British forces still want to interrogate him over the bombing that injured him.

Now he must navigate the anger growing around him, even as he discovers he's been lied to about Joanna, learns his father may have been far more than a simple drunken brute, finds his youngest brother, Kieran, hates him, and he is caught in a very casual betrayal that could easily kill him.

Yet in the face of the growing turmoil and exploding violence he continues to fight to determine the direction of his life.
