The Devil's Due A country at war. A man on the run. A woman left behind. Can a wayward son ever go home? / L. D. Beyer.
As the fighting in Ireland rages, Frank Kelleher and Kathleen Coffey-a young couple from County Limerick with plans for the future-are torn apart. This is Frank's tale: his fall from grace, his dreams, and his quest for redemption.Guilty of a crime he didn't commit, IRA soldier Frank Kelleher flees through the streets of war-torn Ireland with both the British and the Irish Republican Army trying to put a bullet in his head. He makes his way to America under an assumed name and with a forged passport, as the war in Ireland rages on. Settling in a new land, he finds he can't let go of his past. Haunted by the fiancée he was forced to leave behind, by the deaths of three friends at his own hand, and by the country he was forced to abandon, Frank struggles to make his way in 1920s New York. As much as he can't let go of Ireland, he finds that Ireland can't let go of him-and his past has a way of finding him, thousands of miles and an ocean away. He dreams of going home, but knows that it could get him killed. Then an anonymous letter brings news about his fiancée Kathleen and he realizes that he no longer has a choice. A cease-fire is declared and Frank sails home with dreams of finding Kathleen, putting his past behind him, and starting a new life.
