About the Book

When North Irish separatist, Sean Dunnigan, accidentally wounds a bystander during an attack on a sensitive military project, he is torn with guilt. After visiting her in the hospital, ostensibly to assure himself that the victim, Judith Fenley, will survive, he becomes obsessed. When Judith is released from the hospital, Sean approaches her again. Their relationship is cautious at first, but they are soon deeply in love. There are barriers to face. She is a Protestant of English parents. He is Catholic. Little by little, they face their differences: religion, politics, the whole issue of Ulster Independence, his role as a freedom fighter, and how best to end it. Just as it seems that their problems are resolved and a new life lies ahead, however, tragedy strikes. The story ends with a twist from a totally unanticipated angleā€”a hint that there may be hope for the future.


About the Author

Robert Snow has spent a lifetime in aviation and is the author of numerous magazine articles on the subject. His interest in Irish current events stems from a visit to the republic in 1988. The Troubles, as the conflict in Northern Ireland is known there, appeared fairly frequently in the news throughout the eighties and became the inspiration for Belfast Morning. Robert is retired but still flies small airplanes. He lives in Houston, Texas, with his wife, Maria.
