This is a first for me, so I must have been greatly impressed with this book. I stayed with the book until I finished it at6:00am this morning.  The heroine of the story Alexandra (Ali) Dearborn was portrayed as a all american girl next door, who had a few good things going for her, which she so deserved after her childhood full of foster homes due to the loss of her mother at the age of 5 years, and never knowing who her father was. She was a genius. also coupled with something similar to a photograpic memory, graduated from MIT and hired by a the top computer software company..She quits her job to begin a new career in Ireland, (her mothers birthplace) meets a handsome man seems to fall in love at first sight, has an steamy affair for a week when he leaves her.  However, heartbroken she picks herself up and pursues her hoped for new career.  She becomes unwittingly involved in a terror plot, which nearly costs her her life. Her former lover comes back to protect her.The best part of this book that created such a compulsion for me to write this review was the triple whammy at her birthday celebration at a local pub.  It starts out with tears filling your eyes, then they start streaming down your cheeks, then you just sob.  It was so beautiful !!!!! The story does continue on to a great ending.I can not remember ever being so affected by a book before.
