From a Belfast student ordering illegal drugs online to end an unwanted pregnancy to a young mother¿s brush with mortality, and from a Christmas Eve walking the city centre streets when everything seems possible, to a night flight from Canada which could change a life irrevocably, these are stories of love, loss and exile, of new beginnings and lives lived away from ¿home¿.<br><br>¿Embedded in these stories are exquisite, often moving descriptions where everyday moments mix with the monumental.¿ <i>Financial Times</i></p>
