Yvonne Cassidy

Yvonne Cassidy is the New York-based author of three novels. Her latest, How Many Letters Are In Goodbye? (Hachette Books Ireland, £12.99) is the story of Rhea Farrell, a young Irish girl, homeless on the streets of New York, trying to find out more about her mother who died when Rhea was only three. Rhea unearths buried secrets of her mother’s past, all the while confronting some secrets of her own: the truth behind a childhood accident and her confusion around her sexuality. As Rhea discovers who her mother truly was, she starts to figure out just who she herself wants to be.
