Angels

Lost but Not Alone

In the glittering façade of Dublin’s literary salons and cosmopolitan cafés, legendary author Lily O’Connor appears to have it all—acclaim, elegance, and a devoted family. Yet behind closed doors, she battles a grief that has reshaped her world: her adored sister, Maeve, vanished without a trace ten years ago, leaving Lily haunted by unanswered questions. When a mysterious letter arrives, bearing Maeve’s familiar handwriting and a single line—“Find me where the angels weep”—Lily embarks on a journey through rain-slicked streets, hidden bookshops, and storm-battered coastal villages. Each step forces her to confront memories she once buried: late-night laughter, childhood confidences, and the promises they made beneath the willow tree.

Secrets, Sorrows, and Sisterhood

As Lily follows cryptic clues—an abandoned harp in an orphanage chapel, a silver locket buried in a lighthouse’s rubble—she is joined by an unlikely companion: Declan Byrne, a former investigative journalist whose own brushes with loss have left him both cynical and compassionate. Together, they unravel a tapestry of family secrets, from clandestine romances in wartime to betrayals that fractured alliances. Through candlelit vigils in ancient ruins and heart-to-heart conversations in cluttered backrooms, Lily and Declan discover that truth can be both liberating and shattering, that every revelation carries the weight of love and regret.

Finding Light in the Darkness

When Lily’s search leads her to the remote cliffs of County Clare, where crashing waves echo her longing, she must decide whether the sister she remembers is the sister she’ll find. In a moment of breathtaking clarity beneath a cathedral of wind and mist, family and forgiveness collide. The truth of Maeve’s fate tests Lily’s courage, compassion, and capacity to heal. Through tears and triumph, she learns that even the most broken bonds can be mended by trust, and that the hope of reunion shines brightest in the darkest nights.
