The Stain of Silence

Set in 1950s Northern Ireland, The Stain of Silence continues the story of Fen Crozier, which began in Ashes on the Tongue.

After fleeing from the wrath of her Protestant father and the B Special Chief Constable, Fen Crozier finds sanctuary in the clergy house of St. Barnabas’ Roman Catholic Church. Sickened by the bigotry she has left behind, she is drawn to the ideal of a united Ireland only to realise she lacks commitment to the cause.
When she inadvertently places herself in danger from ruthless IRA sympathisers, she once again runs from the violence that seems to follow her. Caught between the two factions and with no one to turn to, Fen is forced to take charge of her own destiny.
Struggling to find her place in life, she becomes more deeply embroiled into the sectarian struggle and makes a terrible decision which could destroy her and her family.

In fear of her life and with her world in pieces around her, can Fen survive to find the peaceful life she has always craved?
