- LIBRARY JOURNAL REVIEW
Carmel Harrington is a natural storyteller … a book with heart, humour and hope.
– RTE
Beautifully written, emotionally intelligent and moving in the extreme.
- DAILY MAIL UK
I both cried and laughed…one of the best books I have ever read.

CARMEL ... ON WRITING

'Am I living my best life?’ This question is one I often ask myself and a thread that connects the stories in each of my books. I like to push my characters to their limits so that their true selves can be revealed. Because I believe that it is only in our darkest moments, that we realise how strong - or weak - we are.
When I write, my characters become real to me. I hear their voices throughout the day, whispering their truths. And they always seem to know their own path, which is often different to the one I set them on, in the opening chapters!
I’m a heart on my sleeve type of gal and my books are like that too. They will make you cry and laugh. I do both when I write them! When a storyline involves any hurt inflicted on children, you can be guaranteed I sobbed while writing it!
For me, my books are a little like this: sometimes in life, it rains, sometimes the sun shines. But when you have both, that's when the magic happens. A beautiful rainbow appears. My hope is that my readers see all of the colours of the rainbow when they get to THE END.
