[Christie Ryan 0.50] • Martha

1972. It is four years since Martha Ryan’s world crashed around her. Fleeing to England to

study teaching, she had left everything behind. Her beloved seaside town of River’s End, her

big sister, Dorothy, and the one man she loves beyond reason.

After the untimely death of her father, she finds a new home in Ireland. There, she

buys a cottage, embarking on a career as a teacher in the small town, and travelling during

every long school holiday. She finds friendships, relationships, and adventures.

But dreams haunt her. Deep down, she longs for her home town in Australia, and to see

Dorothy. Will a life well lived be enough, or is one letter the turning point to risk everything

she’s come to love?

'Martha' is the prequel to The Stationmaster's Cottage. Read first, or alongside any of the books in the series.
