Amelia Ireland lives in London but travels extensively to far-flung places. She likes to rock climb, kite surf, and ride horses. She is also a mother to two very dramatic children.

"Touching and heartfelt."--USA Today

"When a discovery blows their worlds apart--and takes the narrative in a wildly different direction--it cements the mastery of this provocative, wholly original novel."--People

"Readers will be charmed by the well-drawn characters and impressed by Ireland's high-wire act. It's irresistible."--Publisher's Weekly

"This touching and startling debut novel asks how to put into words a sorrow that feels beyond comprehension and whether some wounds can ever mend."--Shelf Awareness

"The divine Amelia Ireland has written a surprising and glorious debut novel. Ireland has created a world where broken hearts are mended and grief can only be released in mutual understanding. When Freya, Mischa, Callum and Victoria meet Genevieve Dempsey, they are lost and broken. As the novel unspools, they find their way to back to truth and ultimately--love."--Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of The Good Left Undone

"Finished in one sitting. Had no idea where it was going but knew there was something lurking. Incredible twist. Ends with a final lap of the ride when you think it is all over. Different. Clever. Genuine. Sad. Reminded me in parts of The Outlaws. I will be recommending this to friends."--Ericka Waller, author of Goodbye Birdie Greenwing
