Description

'A charming festive story with a warm heart' Roisin Meaney

Now that she's finally (and secretly) divorced her unreliable husband, Sheila is ready to celebrate. But is her family's annual get-together, held at the hotel they've owned for generations, the best time to break the news?

And she's not the only one keeping something to herself.

Nora, Sheila's formidable mother, is distracted by her doubts about the Castlehill Hotel's new manager: her grand-daughter Máire. Can she hide her feelings though, putting family before the business for once?

Meanwhile, Sheila's three daughters each have a big decision to make: Henrietta needs time away from home to think, Máire is afraid of losing someone, and Barbara is eager to take a risk ...

As the Sullivan women gather at a place filled with memories, bittersweet and painful truths come to the surface. Will honesty drive them further apart, or will they finally find themselves brought closer together?
