ABOUT
THE BOOK

The first thing Vanessa Carvin does on the island is change her name. To the locals, she is Willow Hale, a solitary outsider escaping Dublin, not a notorious woman on the run from her past. But scandals follow Vanessa and she has questions of her own to answer. If her ex-husband is really the monster everyone says, how complicit was she? Escaping her old life might seem like a good idea but the choices made throughout her marriage have consequences. On the island, Vanessa must reflect on what she did – and did not do. Only then can she discover whether she is worthy of finding peace at all.
