Painful Decisions / For Better, for Worse

PAINFUL DECISIONS. Belfast, 1920. Life is tough for the McGuigans. Tommy, traumatised by action in the Somme, exerts a powerful influence over his family with bouts of drunken violence. Son Johnny must deal with the shameful consequence of young love, while his sister Louise has fallen for the educated and handsome Conor O'Rourke ? against the wishes of his manipulative mother. But it is Nora, wife and mother, whose actions threaten the very foundation of the family when she embarks on a secret relationship of her own. FOR BETTER, FOR WORSE. Belfast 1946. Deserted by the father of her unborn child, Eileen Ross has not married Johnny Cleary for love. Handsome, devoted and eight years her senior, he offers Eileen respectability rather than happiness. Her sister Claire vows to do things differently ? and the magic of romance with Michael O'Hara is all she dreamed it would be. Or might it perhaps be the other way round?
