Cross My Heart, Second Edition

is a true story of a young Irish bride's terror-filled marriage to a violent, psychopathic American GI. The physical and mental abuse she endured for decades would have destroyed most people. Chosen to be Miss Ireland, run over by an early rock 'n' roll star, abused by Cajun in-laws deep in rural Louisiana, exposed to a Civil Rights era murder--these are just a few of the upheavals in her tumultuous life. Love-struck young women, especially those who fall in love overseas, must read this cautionary tale and learn from her real-life nightmare.
