About this listen

"I need you to find out what happened to my mother. The woman who sent me across the sea to Ireland. And never came to find me."

Mairead's world is falling apart. Recently separated, she has returned to her beautiful childhood home in Ireland to nurse her dying mother. But as Brigid sits pale and papery thin, looking out over the Atlantic Ocean, she has one last request for her only daughter . . .

Brigid hands Mairead a stunning turquoise necklace and a small black-and-white photograph of her mother, Ellen, a woman she never met. She begs Mairead to go to New York, the last place Ellen was seen alive, and find out what became of her. Mairead cannot ignore her mother's dying wish.

But when Mairead arrives in America, she is shocked by the secrets she uncovers. In an old church in Arizona she discovers her grandmother was a wanted woman in Ireland, accused of murder. What lies in her family's past? And what does the turquoise necklace mean?

As she digs deeper, the trail leads Mairead to a small mossy graveyard in Ireland where she might finally learn the truth. But if she does, will she re-open old wounds, and put her own future into terrible danger?

Finished wanting more

I loved this story but unlike other books that leave you wanting more because you enjoyed them so much, this story left me wanting a few more chapters to deal with the rest of the characters. I feel like the author had somewhere else to be so finished in a hurry.

Too much angst

Too much angst and troubled relationships for me. Not relaxing or interesting which is what I’m looking for
