Things we never say. Sheila O’flanagan. 2013.

Abbey Andersen is the last person to go looking for change. Yes, it’s tough that she barely sees her mother these days - but in San Francisco she has great friends, a steady relationship, and a job she enjoys. If she has regrets, she’s dealing with them.

When Abbey is contacted by Irish lawyer Ryan Gillian, she discovers that everything she believed about her roots is a lie. She travels to Dublin to find out more - but she’s scarcely off the plane when she’s plunged into a new crisis. One that will change everything not just for Abbey but for the family in Ireland who had no idea that she even existed.

Now Abbey has to make a choice that will affect everyone she knows. How can she be sure she makes the right one? And can life ever be quite the same again?
