Yours, Mine, Ours
Things are finally looking up for Anna. Fourteen miserable years of marriage to man-child Connor have left her drained. So when they separate, she couldn’t be more thrilled to move in with James, a handsome lecturer who is everything her ex-husband is not: kind, thoughtful, and above all, reliable.But Anna and James’ kids hate living with the loved-up couple. Their teenage daughters – one a studious high achiever and the other a cool rich girl – have nothing in common. And Anna’s wild football-mad eleven-year-old son declares war on bookish James. Nobody said step-parenting was easy; Anna and James are about to find out exactly how complicated it can be. Do they have what it takes to make their blended family work?

Violent Loyalties: Manliness, Migration, and the Irish in the Canadas, 1798-1841
Being an Irish man was a consistent, contentious issue in the Canadas. The aim of this book is to provide the firstgendered examination of male Irish migration to Upper and Lower Canada withinthe broader contexts of negative stereotypes about Irish violence and Irishmen'squestionable loyalty to the British Empire.

Memoirs
Trespasses: 'Intense, unflinchingly honest, it broke my heart a million times'
Cushla Lavery lives with her mother, Gina, in a small town in Northern Ireland. At twenty-four, she splits her time between her role as a teacher to a class of seven-year-olds, and regular bartending shifts in the pub owned by her family. It’s here, on a day like any other – as the daily news rolls in of another car bomb exploding, another man shot, killed, beaten or left for dead – that she meets Michael McCusker, an older (and married) barrister who draws her into his sophisticated group of friends. Then there’s Davy McGeown, the young boy in Cushla’s class that she can’t help but care for after his father becomes the victim of a ruthless attack. But as Cushla becomes increasingly involved in her relationship with Michael and her investment in the McGeown family, political tensions in the town grow ever stronger, threatening to destroy all she is working to hold together. As tender as it is unflinching, Trespasses is a masterfully executed and intimate portrait of those caught between the warring realms of the personal and political, rooted in a turbulent and brutally imagined moment of history – where it’s not just what you do that matters, but what you are.
