Hiraeth
|heer-eyeth| (n.)
a homesickness for a home you can't return to, or a home that never was.
As humans, each one of us yearns for something oh so deeply, and not all of us might get that. But if we ever do, we keep it so close to us, clinging on for dear life.
Alan Adkins is not someone to waste his time mourning over things he does not have, for he believes in working for the things that really, practically matter in life. Thus, he is unaware that, deep down, his heart desires something precious . . . love. An unexpected encounter with Sandra Alinac in a bar, however, changes his perspective towards life as she mesmerizes him with her words. And they slowly fall for each other, devouring each moment of it. She becomes his hiraeth.
But, a true relationship needs honesty. And there might be something they both are hiding from each other. Something, that might as well end their relationship in the worst way one could imagine.
And amongst all this chaos is a woman, Lake Butterfield. Lake is the one who can change both these lives upside down. Lake is the one who can reveal these secrets when she wants, giving birth to a great epiphany in their lives. But amid all this, Lake is losing herself without even realising it.
Join the journey of these three, filled with love, drama, romance, mysteries and crime that will blow off your mind.
