Her Secret Promise

A sweeping wartime mystery of love, loss, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.

Malta, 1940.
When Irish officer's wife Adelle Ottaway gives birth to a baby her husband insists must be left behind, she makes a secret promise: she will protect her child at any cost. Defying him, she embarks on a perilous journey home to Ireland - never expecting to fall in love with a US Army medic stationed in her village.

Northern Ireland, 1987.
A body is discovered at a seaside cottage, Adelle's younger daughter vanishes, and the past Adelle tried to bury begins to unravel. Then the phone rings - and it's him. The man she never stopped loving.

A moving, atmospheric story of mothers and daughters, forbidden love, impossible choices, and the long shadows of wartime secrets.
