Have I Told You Lately: A BRAND NEW breathtaking, uplifting novel of love and friendship from Beth Moran for 2025

One photo and a handful of letters can change everything.

Emmie Brown has always known she was adopted. Nellie Brown sacrificed everything to make their life together comfortable and, while not the most demonstrative or warm woman, Emmie never doubted her devotion. But, when Emmie finds a stash of letters and a hidden photo after her mother’s death, everything she has believed changes in an instant. And she won’t be able to rest until she finds the mysterious ‘G’ who sent the letters.

Emmie’s quest takes her to the breathtakingly beautiful Isle of Siskin and into the home of the gregarious, fiercely loyal Hawkins family. After an isolated and introverted life, the burst of colour and noise is overwhelming. But soon Emmie feels her heart begin to open, her mind begin to dream. And as her friendship with kind and gorgeous islander Pip Hawkins gets closer, endless possible futures draw into focus.

But the discovery of ‘G’s true identity will mean Emmie has to choose. One of her choices would mean revealing secrets hidden for decades, one could lead to happiness, but both will need Emmie to be braver than she’s ever been...

An unputdownable read guaranteed to make you smile.

Readers love Beth Moran:

‘This was such an engaging read – emotional at times, sometimes painful, but ultimately so wonderfully uplifting and filled with hope. One I’d very much recommend to others – and the author’s writing just continues to get better and better with every book.’

‘Beth Moran has done it again, she has written a another book that had me running through all my emotions, she always somehow manages to pull me through the wringer when I come out the other side I feel warm and uplifted.’

‘An absolutely compelling, addictive heart lifting and heart breaking emotional read that kept me turning the pages until late at night. I absolutely devoured it in one sitting and then was gutted I had finished it so quickly but there was no way I could put it down!!’

‘I realized one day a while back that I’ve read nearly everything Beth Moran has had published. And why? Because she’s a great writer of imperfect people learning to navigate this imperfect world.’

‘I highly recommend this author as someone who writes beguiling fiction so well, that you really wish it was real life & that the characters had a chance of becoming your best friends. My only regret was that I wished it had been a longer read, as I didn’t want it to end.’
