The Girl On The Bridge P D Egan

Growing up in Northern Ireland in a large impoverished family, Finn Mulvey had seen her fair share of life in the raw. A runaway at fourteen, she is caught and brought back to the place she detests. Her home is ruled by a cold, uncaring mother who treats her daughters with a cruel indifference. Finn meets and falls in love with Paul, her brothers friend, but because of religious differences, their relationship has to be kept secret. When a peaceful civil rights march erupts in violence in a city already consumed by segregation and hate, the only way out is for them to run for their lives. It will take a miracle, a courtroom and sheer determination for them to be finally free.
