"In 1917, at the start of World War I, among global war and a global pandemic, Harrisburgers stepped up, surffered and served. They mustered municipal agencies, associations, churches, clubs and corporations as well as fraternal and female organizations to address the multiple challenges presented by the global events. Women volunteered for the Red Cross and sought employment in industry as locals observed federal stipulations for draft calls, food conservation, fuel savings and arms' production. The city experienced tribulations as residents feared espionage, suspected foreigners and demanded loyalty. A Teutonophobia cast aspersions on anything German. Hospitals struggled with the 1918 flu at their doorstep. Join author Rodney Ross as he charts the World War I era and the Harrisburg home front."--Amazon.

Returning from the harrowing battlefields of the First World War's Western Front, two British soldiers - one Irish and the other English - discover that the bonds forged in the crucible of war can withstand even the tumultuous conflict between their two nations. As they find themselves drawn into opposing sides during the Irish War of Independence, both become entangled in intelligence operations for their respective causes. Amidst this newfound turmoil, each seeks solace in reclaiming their lives after years in the pitiless trenches of Flanders. Their paths diverge, yet both separately enjoy the normalcy of affectionate relationships and the simple charms of living in a small town in Cork, nestled among Ireland's picturesque rivers, valleys, and rolling hills. Within the narrative's backdrop lies a time of transition, wrought primarily by the cataclysmic impact of the Great War. Duty demands an inhuman response, but amidst this struggle, the characters navigate the intricate tapestry of human connections. Although a work of fiction, this book intertwines with real historical events, offering a compelling exploration of the resilience of the human spirit against the backdrop of a transformative era.
