Carmel, a 40-year-old Irish woman, is living a life that's fine, not exciting or awful, just fine. She has a house, a husband, it's all okay. She never had kids, but that's just life, right? She knows she should be grateful. She's better off than a lot of people.
Then one day, out of the blue, she gets a Facebook message from a total stranger with information that could transform her life, for better or for much worse. It could be a scam. It could be malicious. It could be a crazy person.
But what if what they say is true?
Her finger hovers over the screen. Delete or reply?
In this gripping story, Carmel begins a journey of discovery that takes her back to a time long before she was born when love and loyalty, betrayals and secrets decided her fate. The reality of her true story is both shocking and heartwarming, and Carmel learns that in order to go forward, she must first make peace with her past.
As someone raised in an orphanage, Carmel knows she should be grateful for a roof over her head and a respectable family, but she would love nothing more than to escape Birr, Co Offaly and get away from her husband, the monosyllabic Bill and his horrible sister forever.
Life as Mrs Sheehan should be bearable, all she had to do was look after the house and cook Bill's meals. She didn't even need to speak to him, in fact, he preferred that she didn't.
But, as her fortieth birthday approaches, Carmel knows the change must be now or never. Her birth mother has offered her a lifeline from beyond the grave in the form of handsome, charming and kind Dr Sharif Khan.
He's offering her a new life in London, one he assures her that her birth mother Dolly would want her to take, but the decision must be hers. A life filled with joy, friendship and the legacy of her mother's enduring love for her awaits.
But can Carmel do it and scandalise the parish? Can she finally realise her own worth and live her life on her own terms?
The Future's Not Ours to See is the next book in the Carmel Sheehan Story.
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.

In noughties London, she has the potential to be somebody completely new - why, then, does she feel so stuck?

STONES CORNER: Turmoil, V1 is the debut novel by first-time author Jane Buckley.
Caitlin McLaughlin is just like any other teenage girl: during the week, she works at the Rocola shirt factory in Stones Corner, Creggan, where she has become secretary to her boss's dishy nephew James. She likes music and trips into the city with her best friend at the weekend, but this is Derry 1972. A simple trip to the shops can lead to life-changing injuries or death, and staying at home can be just as dangerous when the British Troops raid house to house.
Robert Sallis is a private with the Royal Fusiliers recently posted to the city. He's repelled by how some of his fellow soldiers behave, wary too of civilian feelings running high against the occupying army. Accidentally separated from his patrol in Creggan, he's discovered by Caitlin hiding in her family's garden. He expects the worse but having seen enough violence too close to home, she doesn't give him away. Instead, she prefers to daydream about her charming boss, who has made his feelings for her plain.
A Catholic girl from the Bogside and the Protestant heir to a big local employer...Caitlin believes their love can overcome the triple obstacles of politics, class, and faith in her youthful innocence. Meanwhile, Robert, newly recruited to British undercover forces, is closing in on a terrorist strike in the heart of the city centre.
The next instalment from debut author Jane Buckley's Stones Corner tetralogy has arrived!
Darkness captures an era in Derry/Londonderry in the early '70s, considered the darkest years of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
It reveals the catastrophic fallout from Volume 1Turmoil's doomed Derry City Hotel meeting and its impact on the lives of so many, from the rich, vibrant James Henderson to the love-struck factory girl, Caitlin McLaughlin.
The guerrilla war in Northern Ireland rages as it extends to mainland Britain and the Republic of Ireland. Charles Jones, the bigoted Belfast businessman and the revenge-seeking British Army undercover operative IOWA, continue to seek every opportunity to cause distress and misery for the Nationalist papists.
Darkness takes us from the private clubs of London's West End to the dank hellhole of Armagh Women's Gaol. Hope is deemed lost and forgotten until, ultimately, the power of love, truth, and justice steps in to create a new beginning.
This tale is ANOTHER brutal, hard-hitting, but scrupulously unbiased account of communities on both sides of the sectarian divide struggling to live and love against a background of chaos and carnage.
At 100 years old, Northern Ireland yearns for reinvention. Exasperated that peace hasn't yet brought reconciliation, she handpicks Ella Goldin, an American PhD student, to set out her true destiny. But is Ella really the right choice for this mighty task? What can a tenacious yet uninitiated Jewish New Yorker, lacking local ties, possibly contribute?
Wrestling with the smoke and mirrors of war and peace, Ella in anchored to Northern Ireland first by will, then by academic duress. All the while, Northern Ireland herself can't keep mum when it comes to surprising revelations, emerging as a storyteller in her own right.
The duo's entwined quest encounters emotional reversals and witty twists, creating the first-ever testimony by (let's be frank) an unpredictable piece of Earth about her troubled legacy.

David McMaster, a burned out, retired lecturer, returns to Belfast on discovering a cryptic, posthumous note from his friend Roddy, whom he last saw in Northern Ireland 40 years previously.
In 1965, David, then a high-flying Oxford graduate, is recruited by Sir John Lockwood to help him look for a site for a new university in Ulster. But what seems like an interesting assignment turns into a tragedy not only for David but also for Catherine, the woman he falls in love with. The sectarian forces which would later tear Northern Ireland apart, are destined to destroy the relationship of the two lovers, with terrible consequences for them both.
Stones Corner, Light, set-in war-torn Ulster and in London in the early 1980s, continues the sensational cliff-hanging series of thrillers, Turmoil and Darkness.

Meanwhile, the toxic impact of the sectarian conflict continues to be felt. A merciless kidnap plot is hatched by the PIRA that will touch the lives of both Caitlin and James, bringing them together again at a pivotal moment.
With the women's movement working across the sectarian divide to bring about peace and a growing drift towards the ballot box over the Armalite, Light captures the change in the air in the province. It is a time of hope in the lives of its war-weary people. But no one has foreseen the shattering events in London that will soon threaten their dreams for a brighter future...
