Beginning in Dublin in 1972, Gina, a young American, is swept away by the currents of history and habit from the half Irish, half Bosnian man that she loves. At home in America, she weds a kind man who takes her son as his own and settles down to a small town Louisiana life, but is soon pulled back to her beloved Ireland and the horrific war-torn Bosnia of her lover. A love story set against the backdrop of war, Banks of Green Willow is a poignant coming-of-age novel spanning three decades, three continents, and destiny itself.
