The Tears of God Lise O'Farrell

The book is about secrets, and the tragedies they cause. The story is woven from three strands: the Fuchsia plant, an old diary, and autism. Teresa explores an abandoned cottage and finds the diary. She moves the beautiful Fuchsia to her own garden. Her son Eoin, who has Asberger's Syndrome, fixates on it. Little by little, the full story behind the diary comes out, and at the same time another devastating secret appears, closer to home. (The Irish language name for the Fuchsia means "Tears of God".)
