The Stones Corner series is a powerful, emotionally raw four-book saga set in Derry during the Troubles. Based on true events and personal experience, it tells the story of working-class lives torn apart and held together through years of violence, fear and division. From Turmoil to Hope, the series follows a cast of unforgettable characters - factory girls, mothers, soldiers, paramilitaries, and children - all trying to survive in a world where saying the wrong thing could cost you everything. These books are not about politicians or headlines, but the people behind closed doors. Women who carried too much. Children who saw too much. Men who made impossible choices. The stories are painful, messy, and deeply human. In Turmoil, we meet a young woman navigating first love, family betrayal and trauma while Derry erupts around her. Darkness digs deeper into the cost of silence and the quiet corruption of power. Light gives voice to those trying to build something better, even as the past refuses to let go. And in Hope, we reach the fragile years of peace, where old wounds and new beginnings collide. Written by a Derry-born author who lived through the conflict, this series offers a hard-hitting but compassionate look at a place and time too often misunderstood. The Stones Corner books are popular with book clubs and festivals, with the Second Edition of Turmoil now available, including two powerful new chapters. For readers who value honesty, depth and stories that stay with you.
