A Ribbon Binds Them (Hardcover)

Raised in a city where domestic violence is a door-step kneecapping, two little girls vow to be friends for life, but life has other plans. Opportunity, education and money drive them apart and they each seek their own version of happiness. Once found, that happiness is short lived. Oonagh's husband and child are killed by a cruel terrorist act that reunites her with her best friend. Marie's husband on the eve of their tenth wedding anniversary vanishes. Has he been abducted? Is he to be another of Ireland's disappeared? Oonagh and Marie set off on a quest for answers, a sequinned quest through the '80s' cabaret scene that reveals a cruel betrayal. One person's double life is exposed. Two people's single lives become one. A story of heart set in the heart of Ulster. A blood-stained past enriching an uncertain present and a hopeful future.
