In desperation, she starts a small baking business from her home, all the while brooding over what Marie might find out in Montreal.Montreal during the violence-prone sixties; a bomb thrown into a crowded café in Bahrain; two helicopters burned by eco-terrorists in Idaho. Two-Hearted Crossing tells the story of a flawed family, struggling to move forward in their suddenly upside-down world. It also tells a story of resilience, of survival, of hope and of love.
