A work of historical fiction which portrays a family in crisis during the second World War. The story unfolds in a small-town America, a seemingly unlikely place to pique the interest of America's enemies abroad. Conflict and suspense unfold amid the beliefs of two brothers on opposite sides of a set of ideals that clashed in their native Ireland and climaxed in their new homeland. There is a resounding ring of truth and timelessness here in the family's struggle to do what is right and in the concerns and policies of authorities sworn to protect the citizenry.
