WINNER OF THE SCBWI SPARK AWARD 2017
A PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BOOKLIFE 'BOOKS TO WATCH'
She was willing to sacrifice everything for her country. He was willing to sacrifice everything for her.
'Make a difference in the world,' are the last words Maggie Gilligan's father ever says to her. She is still carrying them in her heart, years later, when she signs up to become a freedom fighter.
'Don't go getting distracted,' is what Daniel Healy's father says after seeing Daniel with the same Maggie Gilligan. Daniel is more than distracted. He is intrigued. Never has he met anyone as dismissive, argumentative... as downright infuriating.
The story of Maggie and Daniel is one of friendship, love, war and revolution, of two people who are prepared to sacrifice their lives: Maggie for her country, Daniel for Maggie. Their mutual sacrifices put them on opposite sides of a revolution. Can they and their love survive?
Inspired by real events of the 1913 Dublin Lockout, Gallipoli and the 1916 Easter Rising.
'A thoroughly compelling book which I enjoyed immensely.' New York Times bestselling author, Hazel Gaynor.
'It's an engrossing portrait of a chapter of Irish history that may be new to many readers.' Publishers Weekly (BookLife).
Genre: Historical
