She’s lost, he’s searching, neither of them knows the full truth.

‘Reading a Jean Grainger novel is like sitting in the kitchen of your best friend. She gets right to the heart of Ireland.’ Kate Kerrigan, NYT Bestselling author of the Ellis Island Trilogy.

Carmel Sheehan was raised in an orphanage in Dublin, and always believed what she was told, that her unmarried mother abandoned her as a newborn.

Forty years later, living in rural Ireland, in an unfulfilling marriage, and she has no reason to suspect that version of her past was untrue, until she gets a Facebook message one day from a stranger claiming it was all lies.

In this gripping boxed set, Carmel begins a journey of discovery that takes her back to a time long before she was born when love and loyalty, betrayals and secrets decided her fate. The reality of her true story is both shocking and heartwarming, and Carmel learns that in order to go forward, she must first make peace with her past.
