So It Is charts the lives of Aoife and Cassie during the troubled times of Northern Ireland.

Aoife is trying desperately hard to keep her brother Damien away from the Troubles whilst their parents languish in the stupors of either medication or alcohol. Cassie on the other hand adopts the life of a honeytrap, luring her victims into an encounter that will change their lives forever. No word is wasted, no imagery subdued in this powerful book which shows the reader what hard times are all about. An emotional rollercoaster with a very thought-provoking ending where the true value of life is considered.
