In her latest novel, Faith Hogan sweeps readers to the West Coast of Ireland, in her beloved fictional village of Ballycove, where the guests at Esme's guest house might come for the scenic views, but they'll leave with the second chance they didn't know they needed. A gorgeous and uplifting novel, for fans of Sheila O'Flannagan and Cathy Kelly.
Faith lives in the west of Ireland with her husband, four children and two very fussy cats. She has an Hons Degree in English Literature and Psychology, has worked as a fashion model and in the intellectual disability and mental health sector.
