This is a story from the Dubliners, Volume 1 collection.

There was a storm coming. Not now, but soon. Not the kind that involved thunder and lightning. It was the kind that involved bullets and blood. Carrigan Briccillio could feel it in her bones. .... it really is a love story.

A woman that despises the military; a man appointed to saving the souls at the largest military garrison in the west; the plague that forces them together. Cassidy Blackwood has lost every man in her life due to the military or war. Even her brother decided he needed to take up arms, leaving Chicago for the coast of California. When she gets word that her brother has been injured, she doesn’t think twice about traveling across the country to bring him home. What she doesn’t count on is the quiet, reserved preacher who defends the very institution she despises!

Dublineses (en inglés, "Dubliners") el primer libro de Joyce, es una colección de relatos cortos escrita por el escritor irlandés. Los quince relatos son una representación, en ocasiones satírica, de las clases media y baja irlandesas, en el Dublín de principios del siglo XX. Joyce, quien sería más adelante pionero en el uso del monólogo interior como recurso narrativo, utiliza en esta obra un estilo realista para ofrecer una descripción de los personajes y la ciudad.
