The Holder of Hope
The new novel
21 August 2025
‘If you could find one missing thing, what would it be?’
As a firefighter, Ava sees the devastation caused when homes are ruined. If she uncovers precious possessions that escaped a blaze unscathed, she returns them to their owner. When Cassie and her son lose everything in a fire, they have nothing and nowhere to go. On impulse, Ava offers them refuge by staying with her.
After three failed rounds of IVF, Ava and her husband are divided on how to start their own family. Needing to find answers about her own adoption and birth family, Ava embarks on a journey to Ireland with Cassie by her side for support.
But not every reunion is a happy one, and the best intentions can have the most heart wrenching results. Can Ava get back what was lost? Or will she learn that sometimes the thing you need most is what you have already found?
An emotional and powerful tale of friendship and family, the perfect read for fans of Dani Atkins, Jojo Moyes and Cecelia Ahern.
