A Step Across

By Laurie Williamson & Chet Williamson
A Step Across by Laurie Williamson & Chet Williamson digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A Step Across the sea...

...is what Susanna Cassidy takes when she travels from America to Ireland's County Galway to keep a date made 31 years before between her late sister Julia and Michael Lynch, the Irishman she loved for a few passionate weeks in 1972.

Susanna has promised her dying sister to meet Michael at the time and place ordained decades before. But when she does, he mistakes her for Julia, and Susanna is too overwhelmed by conflicting emotions to tell him the truth.

Before she can find the love she seeks, Susanna must take even longer steps -- across the chasms of class and religion, of thirty-year-old jealousies and betrayals, and of peace and war in a still simmering, divided Ireland.
