'Take the key, my pet. I can't ever go back. And it's the only thing I can give you. Ireland is in your blood.'
When Grace arrives in Roone Bay, the village where her grandmother Caitlin grew up, the wreck of Caitlin's cottage - whose key Grace was given on her wedding day as a secret refuge if she ever needed it - is not the fresh start she'd hoped for. But hiding from a painful past and with her daughter, Olivia, to look after, Grace must stay strong.
Plucking up the courage to ask for help from rugged carpenter Sean Murphy - Grace gets to work making the house habitable. Soon the view of the deep emerald sea has her captivated and Sean makes her laugh in a way she'd forgotten she could.
But when Grace uncovers a long-lost letter to Caitlin that reveals a heartbreaking truth, her new life is suddenly threatened by her own devastating secrets...
This utterly heartbreaking, completely life-affirming story of a family secret that echoes down the generations is perfect for fans of Susanne O'Leary and Tricia O'Malley.
