Overview

To my darling daughter, I hope one day you will find this letter and finally know the truth. I beg you, please find it in your heart to forgive me... Heartbroken from the sudden death of her beloved mother, Becky is surprised to discover her mother left her a key to a house in Ireland she's never heard about. Desperate to understand why, and with no home left for her in New York, she uproots her and her daughter's life and travels to the wild Orchid Bay. But when she arrives, the house is nothing like she pictured. With peeling paint and overgrown with brambles, Becky knows that she can bring this back to life. So she throws herself into converting it into a café with the help of handsome local chef, Ben. As they get closer, she wonders whether his warm grey eyes and kind smile could be the key to mending her broken heart... But before she can begin to imagine a new life in this magical place, Becky finds an old envelope lodged behind a painting. In the crinkled pages, she learns about a mother begging for forgiveness, doomed romances by the Irish sea and daughters born in secret. Why was this letter hidden in the house, and did her mother ever know it existed? When Becky finally uncovers the connection between the letter and her own family, it breaks her heart. Will her past finally catch up with her in Orchid Bay, and tear apart the happiness she has found? Or will she and her daughter finally be able to make a home with a new community here in this beautiful place? An utterly emotional and page-turning read bursting with Irish magic, perfect for fans of Susanne O'Leary, Cathy Kelly and Mary Alice Monroe. What readers are saying about Ann O'Loughlin: 'OMG!
