She has watched everyone else get a story. Now it's her turn.
CaitlÃn Madden was born in Ballinderry, County Clare, and has never left. She works at her mother's pub. She checks on Máire at the post office. She organises the coastguard rota, keeps the village's quiet rhythms running, and is - by everyone's unspoken agreement - essential to the place in the way of people who are so consistently there that no one has thought to ask whether they're all right.
Then a stranger arrives. And Máire Nà Fhaoláin - eighty-one years old, not well, and in possession of forty years of carefully kept secrets - finally tells CaitlÃn the thing she has been waiting until she was ready to hear.
The story of why her father left. The woman who left before him. The long, patient thread of family history that explains, at last, the shape of the life CaitlÃn has been living.
The final novel in the You Deserve This series, You Deserve This Dawn is a love letter to the ones who stayed, the ones who came back, and the particular courage of choosing - deliberately, with both eyes open - the place and life that is yours.
Can be read as a standalone. Best read after You Deserve This Truth (Book 10). Perfect for readers of Maeve Binchy, Marian Keyes, and Cathy Kelly.
