Divided is described as "a post-Civil War story of young love and old prejudice. When young Bridget O’Neill discovers a packet of letters in her Aunt Maude’s trunk, she begins a quest to learn the story of her Southern mother and Northern father. The truth separates her from her fiancé, Danny Sullivan, and the Irish Catholic community that has embraced her. In the end, as fire consumes Boston in much the same way it consumed the South, the prejudice of the past must be put aside to make way for the future."
