Description
From internationally bestselling author Cathy Kelly comes a heartwarming story of three sisters who are about to discover that—even within a close-knit Irish family—looks can be deceiving.
In the Irish country town of Kinvarra, the Miller girls seem to have everything. Stella, a single mother and brilliant attorney, has the serene beauty of a Renaissance Madonna—and a long-awaited second chance at love within reach. Tara, a television soap writer, has just married her soulmate after a whirlwind six-month romance. And Holly, shy and striking, lives an enviable bohemian life, surrounded by artists and inspiration in her beautiful apartment, where her own creative gifts finally have room to breathe. Have there ever been three more fabulous sisters?
Their mother, Rose—calm, elegant, and unchanging—is about to celebrate her fortieth wedding anniversary. But as plans unfold for what promises to be the party of the decade, cracks begin to show. Beneath the polished facade of the Miller family lies buried truths and unspoken sorrows. As long-hidden heartaches rise to the surface, Rose and her daughters must confront what they’ve kept from one another—and discover whether honesty will break them apart or lead them, at last, toward a deeper and more enduring happiness.
