Happy Birthday, darling girl...
Ever since she can remember, Roisin has received a birthday card in the post. Signed with love from the birth mother she has never met.
Brought up by her adoptive parents, Keeley and Doug, Roisin has wanted for nothing. But on her thirtieth birthday a letter comes that shakes her world.
For Keeley, who's raised Roisin as her own, the letter reminds her of a secret she's been holding for thirty years.
And for Nell, keeping watch in the lighthouse, the past is a place she rarely goes. Until a young runaway arrives seeking shelter, and unwraps the gift of hope for them all...©2016 Emma Hannigan

Critic Reviews
A glorious read . . . A wonderfully uplifting novel about women's friendship by a writer who understands exactly how women think (Cathy Kelly)
Hannigan's novel, much like the vivacious author herself, is brimming with hope, joy and inspiration
A moving tale celebrating the bonds between women, Emma Hannigan beautifully captures the difficult and wondrous thing that is loving and learning to let go . . . just a little. An excellent read
Emotional and heartbreaking . . . A fast-paced story with endearingly warm characters - you'll savour this touching tale ( Candis Magazine, Book of the Month)
This fast-paced and endearing novel is about friendship between women, accepting yourself and trusting your own judgement
Restores our faith in human nature and makes us feel warm inside
This is her best novel yet. Her heart and soul was poured into every word of this story and it just radiates from the pages . . . a wonderful, heartfelt, emotive book
I didn't just like it, I really LOVED it . . . grab this book, curl up on the couch and prepare to have a few lump in your throat moments too
Wonderful story!
