Two lives. One war. A meeting in a refugee camp that changes everything.
“An engrossing tale taking the reader from Ireland and UK to refugee camps of Eastern Europe. A 5-star read.” Paul Carson, bestselling author of “Scalpel” and “Inquest.”
Cliona has spent years running — from her past in Ireland, from addiction, from herself. When she joins a traveling comedy troupe bringing laughter to refugee camps across war-torn Eastern Europe, she believes she has finally found a way to make amends.
Leon is a soldier shaped by conflict. As war engulfs Yugoslavia, his homeland, he discovers a capacity for violence that both empowers and consumes him. With each passing day, he moves further from the man he once was — husband, father, citizen — and closer to something far more dangerous.
When Cliona and Leon’s paths cross in a refugee camp, neither expects the agonizing and life-changing consequences they will have to face. In a place defined by loss and tragedy, a fleeting moment of human connection forces Leon to confront the truth of what he has become — and offers Cliona a glimpse of the fragile power of compassion.
As it continues to tear lives apart, they must confront a universal question: whether redemption is still within reach… or if some choices can never be undone.
