Broken Passions

Anna Barry is running Jacob's shoe shop on Sackville Street and keeping house for her father and brother Sean in 1920's Dublin. Anna is stepping out with Joe Maguire, a man her brother and father regard as a hero in the fight for a united Ireland, but does she really love him? When he proposes, Anna succumbs to family pressure and accepts despite her reservations. When Anna's boss has a stroke, his son Daniel must abandon law studies in England and return to Dublin to take over the family business. Anna and Daniel are irresistibly drawn to each other and embark on a secret love affair that is hidden from both families. Anna's father would be furious if he knew his daughter had chosen Daniel over Joe Maguire, and Daniel's family would never accept a humble shop girl for their son. As Joe, Sean and the Anti-Treaty forces prepare for war, Anna and Daniel, consumed with passion for one another, must fight for a future together.
