A young man lies bleeding in the street. It could be any street, in any city. But it's not. It's Glasgow - a place that has a long history of religious conflict and intolerance.

Graham comes from a sheltered Protestant background. But when he witnesses a shocking moment of violence, suddenly he finds himself involved with helping an illegal asylum seeker and his girlfriend. This isn't a problem he can sort out on his own. Then help comes from an unexpected source: a Catholic boy from a very different world, and Graham is forced to reassess his own fears and prejudices.

A gripping tale about two boys who must find their own answers in a world divided by differences.

DIVIDED CITY deals with racism and intolerance, and explores the reasons behind inter-communal violence. Her understanding of the subject has led to the book being widely used in schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
