• • • Hey there, friends! I just wanted to let you know that 

      Illegal: A True Story of Love, Revolution and Crossing Borders by John Dennehy is available now in audiobook format. This true adventure is narrated by Joe Passaro, it runs for almost 6 hours and the publisher is Cotopaxi Publishing. I will post a review in the upcoming weeks, but until than, let us discover more details about John and his first book.

John Dennehy grew up in New York but left the country when George Bush was reelected. For six years he lived in the developing world before returning to New York where he worked for the United Nations. He has an MA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of East Anglia (England) and is frequently published in places such as VICE, The Guardian, Narratively and The Diplomat. This is his first book.

A raw account of a young American abroad grasping for meaning, this pulsating story of violent protests, illegal border crossings, and loss of innocence raises questions about the futility of borders and the irresistible power of nationalism.

Illegal tells the true story of love, deception, revolutions and deportations as it chronicles the trials of John Dennehy. A naïve New Yorker, Dennehy refuses to be part of the feverish nationalism of post 9/11 America. His search for hope takes him to Ecuador, where he falls in love with firebrand Lucia, who perfects his broken Spanish while they find solidarity in the brewing social upheaval. Amid the unrest, Dennehy is arrested and deported to the United States, but now he has found something worth fighting for.
