The girl stands on the clifftop, feeling the soft breeze lift her
shining red hair and dry her tears. She can almost hear Ireland calling her
home across the wild sea. But she can never go back. And in that moment, she
swears no-one will ever find out why.
Freya is desperate for escape from her messy break-up when she’s
offered a job caring for elderly Kathleen in the seaside
village of Heaven’s Cove. Kathleen’s once-red hair is now a brilliant white,
but there’s always laughter in her Irish lilt – until the day Freya finds her
weeping, her gaze fixed on Driftwood House, perched on the cliffs above the
village. She refuses to say what’s wrong…
Kathleen’s son Ryan, quiet with striking emerald eyes, resents that
a stranger is caring for his mother. But as Freya presses him for answers on a
long walk across a windswept beach, Ryan finally admits that Kathleen breaks
down in the same way, on the exact same day every year – never telling anyone
what is causing her pain.
Finding a photo of Kathleen as a young girl standing outside Driftwood House
years before she says she moved to the village, Freya is determined to find the
source of Kathleen’s heartache. But as she gets closer to Ryan, and to the sad,
forgotten history of the house, Freya is faced with an impossible decision…
Should she share this heartbreaking secret with Ryan and risk their chance of
happiness together? And will facing the truth bring Kathleen peace in her final
years – or will it tear them all apart?
An absolutely breath-taking and heartbreaking page-turner about healing old
sorrows and finding new joys. Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Barbara
O’Neal, and anyone longing to escape to the rugged Devon coast.
What did I think?
This is a book that I have so been looking forward to. I have read the first 2 books in the series and I have fallen in love with the setting of Heavens Cove and the characters.
In this book we meet Freya who has come to Heavens Cove looking for a fresh start. The residents stories become intertwined and the new character soon amalgamates with the characters we know and love. I don't want to give anything away about the storyline - you will have to read it for yourself.
Although some of the same characters pop up from the earlier books I think that this one works well as a standalone title if you haven't read them.
This book is just as good if not better than the first two. It is a heartwarming story of second chances and building relationships. I loved it.
But what I need to know is will Liz be writing a 4th book in the series??
Liz writes heart-warming and uplifting women's fiction about
families and relationships, and romantic comedies full of love and laughs.
She worked as a journalist for years and brought up a family on the
south coast of England, all the while writing fiction on the quiet. After being
short-listed in a couple of national novel-writing competitions, her dream of
being a published author came true when she was signed by Bookouture.
When not writing, Liz likes walking by the sea, catching up
with friends and binge-watching box sets. She also loves hearing from readers
and can be contacted at www.lizeeles.com, or on social media.
