Exit Unicorns Series
Shout-outs
'If you have any Irish blood at all, you should read this series, it will make you cry for your ancestors. These books have created a portal to the homeland I've never had the opportunity to see in person. I love escaping into this story with characters I've grown to care so much about over the past books. I've never felt such an emotional connection to fictional characters, and the narrator's lovely Irish lilt just draws you right in.' - Amazon reviewAmazon Reviewer

Synopsis
From Book 1:
It is the spring of 1968 in Belfast, Northern Ireland and James Kirkpatrick has just lost his father under suspicious circumstances, Casey Riordan is released from prison after five years and Pamela O'Flaherty has crossed an ocean and a lifetime of memories to find the man she fell in love with as a little girl. All three lives are on a collision course with each other against the backdrop of the burgeoning civil rights movement and a nation on the brink of revolution.
They come from disparate backgrounds- Jamie a wealthy industrialist whose life is like an imperfect but many faceted jewel- brilliant, flawed and with a glitter that is designed to distract the observer. Casey- a card carrying member of the Irish Republican Army, who must face the fact that five years away has left him a stranger, a misfit in his own neighbourhood where not everyone is sympathetic to a convicted rebel. Pamela- who has come to Ireland in search of a memory and a man who may not have existed in the first place.
Through it all runs the ribbon of a love story; love of country, the beginning love of two people unable to resist the pull of each another regardless of the cost to themselves and those around them and the selfless love of one man who no longer believes himself capable of such emotion.
Ultimately this is the story of Ireland herself, of how nation is bound to one's identity, woven into the weft of all we become. And whether, finally, freedom and peace can walk down the same road, hand in hand.
