The Lilac Bus: Stories

The Journey -- Every Friday night young Ron Fitzgeralds lilac-colored minibus leaves Dublin for the Irish country town of Rathdoon with seven weekend commuters on board. All of them, from the joking bank porter, Mikey Burns, who plays the buffoon while his brother makes a fortune in the family business, to the rich doctors daughter, Dee Burke, who is having a secret affair with a married man, have their reasons for making the journey. The Destination, Rathdoon, is the kind of Irish Village where family histories are shared and scandals dont stay secret for long. And this weekend, when Toms bus pulls in, the riders find the unexpected waiting for them... as each of their very private lives unfolds to reveal a sharp betrayal of the heart, a young mans crime, and chance for new dreams among the eight intriguing men and women on... The Lilac Bus.
