How did a secret from 1914 cause a century of heartache? . . .
After a devastating loss, Grania Ryan returns home to Ireland and the arms of her loving family.
There, she meets young Aurora while walking along the cliffs. Mysteriously drawn to her, Grania discovers that the histories of their families are strangely and deeply entwined.
From a bittersweet romance in wartime London, to a troubled relationship in contemporary New York, the two families, past and present, have been entangled for a century.
Can Aurora help Grania understand the past, and change her future?
Haunting, intriguing and deeply moving, The Girl on the Cliff tells of the triumph of hope over loss.
