The lives of these three women are woven beautifully around each other in this warm-hearted story of hope and friendship. A deceptively simple story, this book covers many issues that hit at the heart of us all. It sings to the importance of friendship and community to get us through lifes' twists and turns. This debut novel by Celine O'Donovan is heart-felt, insightful and full of life and love.
