Every paper bracelet held a mother’s secret. Now, it’s time for the truth to be told.
For nearly fifty years, Katie Carroll has kept a box hidden away—a relic from her days as a nurse in a 1970s Irish home for unwed mothers. Inside, a notebook records the names of the babies and young women she once cared for. And among the pages, delicate paper identity bracelets—each one holding a story of heartbreak, loss, and separation.
After the death of her husband, Katie makes a choice: to reunite those separated by adoption. But as she returns the bracelets to their owners, buried secrets begin to surface—including ones from Katie’s own past.
Inspired by true events, The Paper Bracelet is a gripping, emotional novel of hope, loss, and the enduring bond between mothers and their children.
