For a book with so much heartbreak and worries, it is supringly engaging and cheerful. Three women (mother and two daughters) have lots of decisions to make. All will be life changing and will cause hurt to someone, but what will be for the greater good? All set in set in a Christmas atmosphere. Once you start reading you will not want to stop.

A cute Christmassy romance. The relationship between two very different sisters and their mum is great, as they make life changing decisions and grow closer over the festive season. There are money worries, teenage angst comes back to haunt them and above all romance with the right person.

This was a really enjoyable read about three family members who are each at a crossroads. Mum Aileen feels as though her life has been on hold since her husband went missing many years ago and she’s also faced with potentially having to sell her family home due to subsidence. Eldest daughter Doon feels overwhelmed by her forthcoming marriage plans and younger daughter Natasha’s plans to try to forge a relationship with her good friend Ben have been destroyed at the last minute. Set over the Christmas period this is a warm character read set in a stunning location and with a brilliant cast of surrounding characters. The storyline is very gentle although there’s a lot of hurt in amongst due to the family background there’s a lot of hope too in this beautiful moving on story.

What a great cosy book to read . Hoping we can sometime go back and visit Ballyclare it sounds a wonderful place.
Natasha and Doone are sisters. Doone is engaged and Tasha is just blundering her way through life. On their annual visit home to Ballyclare their mother has news.
This is a great curl up and be taken away to an Irish village with surprising results.
