A return to Ireland, and to the past

Carmel has built a life in London that feels far removed from the fear and loneliness she associates with Ireland. A family road trip along the Wild Atlantic Way brings her back to the country she left behind, where the pull of her past complicates the future she has made. The novel connects Carmel’s personal reckoning with family ties and her relationship to Ireland, framing the journey as a question of whether she can make peace with what she left behind. It is the concluding book in the Carmel Sheehan story.

Book overview

As long as Carmel stays in London, nothing can happen to shatter her perfect life. But something is pulling her home. Should she resist?

 

She has a wonderful marriage, a rewarding career and a great bunch of friends. As far as she's concerned, the sadness of her past can stay back in Ireland, where it belongs.

 

For Carmel, Ireland only means misery, loneliness and fear and she never wants to return. The new, confident and happy version of her only exists on the cosmopolitan streets of Britain's capital. If she ever was forced to return, she fears she would revert to the mousey downtrodden woman she once was.

 

But when her beloved father suggests a family road trip along Ireland's famous Wild Atlantic Way, she hasn't the heart to turn him down. She tells herself that Sharif will be by her side, and that maybe her father is right and Ireland isn't the terrible place she's made it out to be. But trouble is brewing once more for Carmel and everything she struggled to build looks like it is disintegrating.

 

As Carmel returns to the land of her birth, she discovers that she cannot fully embrace her future, until she makes peace with her past, and with her country.

 

A heartwarming story of families, love and loyalty, set against the backdrop of Ireland.

 

What Will Be, is the final book in the Carmel Sheehan Story.
