A sweeping story of love, loss, faith and the secrets that bind generations.
Christmas Eve, 1965. In snow-covered Wexford, fifteen-year-old Maggie Cohan and Liam Thomas bury a handfasting ribbon beneath an ancient yew tree and make a quiet promise: one day, they will return for it together.
But life carries Maggie across the world to Australia, while Liam remains behind. Though oceans divide them, their bond endures through letters, memory and faith. Years later, as they prepare to build a future together, tragedy strikes. Liam disappears without explanation, leaving Maggie to face grief, uncertainty and a devastating loss of her own.
Unknown to them both, decisions made in crowded hospital wards, a newborn's hidden identity and a secret carried in silence have set their lives upon a path neither could imagine. From the Irish coast to the Snowy Mountains of Australia, two families are drawn into a mystery shaped by mistaken identities, buried evidence and truths that refuse to remain hidden.
As Maggie searches for the man she loves and the child she believes she has lost, Liam struggles to recover a life erased by violence and amnesia. Around them stand those whose courage, compassion and faith will help bring long-concealed truths into the light.
Still, Love Remains is an emotional historical family saga inspired by real places and events. Rich with atmosphere, tenderness and spiritual hope, it explores the enduring power of love, the bonds between parents and children, and the belief that even after years of sorrow, restoration is still possible.
For readers who enjoy clean historical romance, Christian fiction, family secrets, migration stories and deeply moving tales of separation and reunion.
