Tara took in the grand farmhouse sitting high on the hill amidst the emerald grass. She never knew her mother came from money. Now, this house will be passed down to her. But how can Tara accept it when there is still a mystery hiding within the faded walls?
When Tara Hourihan's mother receives a letter informing her she's inherited a house down south in Roone Bay, Tara sees her mother pale. Aoife hasn't been back to her tiny hometown in years.
When mother and daughter arrive in town, the lawyer handling the estate gives them some shocking news: the inheritance may be split. There is evidence that Aoife's twin sister Eithne, thought to have died as a teenager, may still be alive. Her name is listed as a patient at a local mother and baby home.
With the help of handsome local garda, Declan Ford, Tara and Aoife must untangle a decades old family secret and a possible terrible cover-up that tore the sisters apart. Did Aoife's parents lie to her about Eithne?
What the women discover will change everything they thought they knew about their history. But can they finally put the past to rest, before it is too late?
A totally gripping and heartbreaking tale about family secrets, the ties that bind mothers and daughters and the tragedy of the Irish mother and baby homes. Fans of Kathleen McGurl, Tricia O'Malley and Maeve Binchy will be utterly swept away.
