Two sisters. One secret. A journey to learn who they really are…

The instant Irish number one bestseller! ‘I really, really loved it. I think it's her best book so far, written with maturity and great compassion. The characters are very relatable, Lou was my favourite . . . I enjoyed this book so much’ MARIAN KEYES

‘Cathy at her absolute best . . . Wonderful realistic women trying to forge their way in an upbeat story where dark clouds give way to sunshine. Perfect to curl up with' RACHEL HORE

'A burst of Sicilian sunshine . . . Cathy writes from the heart with great warmth and sincerity' ERICA JAMES

As the waves crash on to a wild Atlantic beach, Lou is at a crossroads. For the first time ever, just giving up seems like an option.

In just one night, at her own 50th birthday, her world has imploded. Her mother has kept a secret hidden all her life. And it changes everything. Before Lou can take another step, she needs to get to the bottom of the shocking truth that alters who she really is.

Along with her sister, Toni, who is facing her own crisis, the two women sets out on a life-changing journey – one that will take them through Ireland’s wildest coastline and to Sicily’s sun-baked rocky shores. It will also take Lou deep into her relationships with her mother, her sister and her daughter to figure out how to stop pleasing everyone else – and carve out who she really wants to be.
