Synopsis
The true and previously untold story of forbidden love in Belfast. Winnie and George were opposites in every way, in the already divisive age of Ireland, in the early 20th century. Yet, for all their differences, what they shared was a passion for fairness and the rights of the working class. It was this cause which ultimately brought them into each other's lives and helped form this very unlikely union that would last a lifetime, despite opposition from both their families.

She encouraged her to research the background and tell his story.

Allison, author of 'Titanic Times' (1997) and 'When Dublin was the capital' (2000), lives in Portaferry, Co.Down, with her family
