More About Sally Hanan

Sally was raised in Ireland, lived in Spain for a year, and now lives in Texas. Her work history includes a nursing degree, secret shopping, Uber driving, and copy editing. She’s been writing all her life, with a number of self-published books out in the world. She’s written five novels, four of which will never see the light of day, and rightly so.

An absolute gem of a novel, taking readers on a compelling, entertaining, sometimes heart-breaking, but ultimately uplifting journey.

INDIEREADER – 5 STARS

A moving novel about family and love coupled with regret, heartache, and hope. Readers of Maeve Binchy will appreciate the Irish backdrop, and Jojo Moyes fans will love the emotions within these pages.

BOOKLIST STARRED REVIEW

This is very Maeve Binchy, authentic and true to its time, as well as being an eloquent reminder of the bad old days.

ANNE CUNNINGHAM, THE MEATH CHRONICLE

One of the best things about book blogging is finding new authors you may not have otherwise discovered, and it would be a travesty to miss Sally Hanan’s fabulous debut novel. I simply adored it.

MICHELLE RYLES, THE BOOK MAGNET

If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. Had me nodding my tears away as it resonated with me so much. A beautifully crafted story that spoke to me and will stay with me long after I’ve read it.
