A mother and daughter adrift, a friend in need, and a village to really call home'
When Kate O'Hare discovers she's about to become a mother, she packs up her life in France to return home to regroup and put down some roots. Home is where the heart is, right?
On her return to Ireland, Kate is surprised to find her best friend Flora's marriage and self-esteem is in tatters following her husband's rather public betrayal. With no marriage, home, or future, can Kate empower Flora to rediscover herself and reignite the career she put on hold to marry the man she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with?
On the other side of the Atlantic, Kate's estranged mother, Lola, is heartbroken following the loss of her soulmate, Paulie. On hearing Kate's plan, Lola too decides to return home to seek a second chance at motherhood with her daughter.
Will the music and magic of Sandycove be enough to carry these women through such challenging times and heal their hearts?
Perfect from the fans of Faith Hogan and Laura Pearson
