About this listen

An absolutely heartbreaking story about families, secrets and unbreakable friendships

My whole life, I've been haunted by a secret I've left behind on the coast of Ireland. I may be gone, but if you’re reading this Casey, I need to tell you everything…

When Casey’s dear friend Rosie passes away, her heart breaks in two; Rosie didn’t even tell her she was sick. And when a mysterious letter arrives from beyond the grave, describing the secluded island where Rosie spent every summer, Casey questions if she really knew her friend at all. With Casey’s hectic job ruling her life, and her marriage crumbling around her, she books a ticket to this beautiful Irish island to feel close to Rosie again, and find out what secrets she has hidden there.

Casey rushes to the tumbledown cottage and immediately falls in love with the glimmering shores and breathtaking coves of Scarty island. Why did Rosie keep this magical place a secret, even from her own husband? Desperate for answers, she immerses herself with the locals organising afternoon teas for tourists, and helps handsome but overworked pub owner Shay. Though Shay stays tight-lipped, Casey notices how his hazel eyes shine when she makes him laugh, and how her heart skips a beat when his rough hands brush hers.

But just as Casey finds herself falling for Shay’s quiet strength, a final letter arrives that changes everything. The tear-stained pages tell the story of a forbidden romance and a tragic day at sea that destroyed Rosie’s life. It could shatter Casey’s blossoming romance and tear the small island community apart.

Will Casey find the strength to confront the ghosts of the past and confess her love for Shay? Or will she decide that some secrets are meant to stay buried, and say goodbye to Scarty forever?

An utterly uplifting and heart-stopping listen bursting with Irish magic that will tug at your heartstrings. Perfect for fans of Susanne O’Leary, Tricia O’Malley and Mary Alice Monroe.
