Publisher's Summary
Dublin 1950
Liesl Bannon has never felt like she was truly at home anywhere, not since her mother placed her and her brother Erich on the last Kindertransport out of Berlin in 1939. She’d been so much more fortunate than most Jews, saved from the horrors of the Nazi regime. Being adopted by Elizabeth and Daniel Lieber meant she and Erich spent the war in Northern Ireland, safe and loved, but Liesl always knew something was missing.
When an opportunity to return to Berlin to represent her university presents itself, she is so torn. Should she go back to the city that rejected her and her family, would it be too harrowing, or would it feel like home?
In Berlin, a chance encounter with an old family friend sparked emotions for Liesl that she’d suppressed since she was a child. She finds herself desperately wanting to go back to those carefree days before Hitler, when life made sense, but why was her family so set against her return? Was it because they were worried about her as they claimed, or was there a darker, more sinister reason?
The Hard Way Home is the heart wrenching third book in the best-selling Star and the Shamrock series.

No 3 in this series
completely won me over. I love the themes of these books expanding my knowledge into the skills of oratory and Irish Jewry. I so appreciate the compassion and kindness along with the realism of this period in history. Jean Grainger is an adept writer and weaves seamless depictions and portraiture of those times past into more current times. Thank you.

the hard way home
I loved the story overall. I was happy that Daniel, a quiet man took control to protect his daughter and did so without injurying Kirk.

Not very believable!
A very smart girl at the top of her class meets a fellow and is engaged after a week and doesn’t believe or question why her whole family ( whom she trusts and loves) are telling her he was a Hitler sympathizer. Give me a break!
