<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">It's the story of three girls - Sheila, Phil and Mary - growing up into the new emerging post-conflict Belfast of money, drugs, high fashion and crime; and of their lives and loves.</span></p>
<p><br/>Sheila, a supermodel, is kidnapped. Phil is sent to prison. Mary, surviving a drug overdose, has a spiritual awakening.</p>
<p><br/>It is also the story of the men who matter to them - John Branagh, former candidate for the priesthood, a modern Darcy, someone to love or hate. Will he and Sheila ever get together? Davy Hagan, drug dealer, ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’. Is Phil also mad to have anything to do with him?</p>
<p><br/>Although from different religious backgrounds, starting off as childhood friends, the girls manage to hold on to that friendship in spite of everything.</p>
<p><br/>A book about contemporary Ireland and modern life. A book which both men and women can enjoy - thriller, romance, comedy, drama - and much more ....</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>Belfast Girls</strong></em> is available in both paperback and <em>Kindle</em> editions from <em><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Belfast-Girls-Gerry-McCullough/dp/1456387103">Amazon.com</a></strong></em>, and in <em>Kindle</em> edition only from <em><strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belfast-Girls-ebook/dp/B004DNWS3W">Amazon.co.uk</a> </strong></em>More info on <strong><em><a href="http://www.gerrymccullough.com" target="_blank">Gerry's website</a></em></strong>.</p>
