Beneath Still Waters

Her search leads her to Professor Eliza Westfield and her compelling brother, Heath, a cardiologist whose gentle persistence begins to crack the walls around Shea’s heart. But as Tom delves deeper into the life of Clara O’Byrne—Samuel’s rebellious daughter, whose story eerily mirrors Shea’s—past and present collide in unexpected ways.

When Shea’s former lover follows her to Ceann Mara, bringing with him the painful secret she’s kept from everyone, she must finally confront the choices that have shaped her life. A sudden storm at the billabong forces Shea to decide whether some secrets are worth keeping—and if the O’Byrne family legacy of resilience and love lives on in her.

Spanning two centuries of family history, heartbreak, and healing, Beneath Still Waters continues the sweeping saga of the O’Byrne family, where every discovery on the banks of the Darling River reveals that our most personal struggles often echo through generations.
