Her mother disappeared without a trace.
For years, Ellie O'Neill believed Mary O'Neill had abandoned her family. But when a decades-old mystery resurfaces, Ellie discovers that everything she thought she knew about her mother's life—and disappearance—was a lie.
Her search for answers draws her into the quiet coastal communities along the East Coast, where a missing military aircraft, the disappearance of an aspiring journalist, and her mother's past are connected by a secret someone has spent decades trying to protect.
As Ellie follows the trail, she uncovers long-buried evidence, forgotten witnesses, and powerful people willing to do anything to keep the truth hidden. Every answer leads to another question, and every step closer to the truth puts her own life at risk.
What Falls from the Sky is the first Ellie O'Neill mystery—a gripping suspense novel about family, sacrifice, and the extraordinary lengths people will go to protect the ones they love.

I am currently editing The Tales We Tell to support the third book in the series.
