Birthright

Birthright

To protect her secrets, a woman refuses to acknowledge the child she left behind fifty years ago and a half a world away.

Claire is a successful Southern California woman looking for her birth mother in Ireland, who in the 60s fell victim to the cruelty and arrogance of the Catholic Church's disregard for women caught in an unwanted pregnancy.

About the Book

Claire travels halfway across the globe from Southern California to Ireland to find the reasons Norah, her biological mother, gave her up. Norah is equally determined to avoid revisiting the painful time in her life and the devastating decision she was forced to make. Even with a loving husband and family, she still carries the shame of her mistakes.

Claire’s presence fifty years later is the engine for the confrontations to come. Neighbors Norah had known forever recognized Claire’s resemblance to a sister she never knew she had. Norah must face the man who fathered her two daughters, and decide to either hold the secrets that embittered her or release them for the shame that will surely mark her.

An emotional story that delves into the true meaning of family, sisterhood and secrets. Perfect for fans of Kerry Fisher’s The Silent Wife and Hannah Beckerman’s If Only I Could Tell You.
