"A young woman's journey through grief, trauma and growth"

In a small Scottish village, Moira learns early that secrets can shape a lifetime.

At just fifteen, she makes a life-altering decision, one that will follow her quietly into adulthood. As the years unfold, Moira faces loss after loss: the death of those she loves, the shattering discovery that her past is not what she believed, and a devastating betrayal by the people closest to her.

When a violent attack leaves her fighting for her life, Moira is forced to confront not only the world around her, but the woman she has become.

Drawn back to the village she once fled, Moira begins to heal among familiar sights and sounds and long-buried memories. Love returns when she least expects it, but the past is never done, and when it resurfaces far from home, Moira must face the limits of what she can hold on to and what she must finally let go of.

Refusing to be defined by trauma and loss, Moira makes a courageous choice: to stop surviving and start living.

Moira is a deeply moving, character-driven novel about resilience, family secrets, heartbreak, and the quiet strength it takes to claim and live your own life. Perfect for readers who love emotional women's fiction, stories of healing, and novels that linger long after the final page has been read.

Content warning: Contains explicit depictions of sexual violence and physical assault, which may be triggering. Reader discretion advised.
