Publisher's Summary

Baby Frankie is born into an unusual family. Her mother is desperate to find someone to take care of her child, and she doesn’t have much time. Noel doesn’t seem to be the most promising of fathers but despite everything, he could well be Frankie’s best hope. As for Lisa, she is prepared to give up everything for the man she loves; surely he’s going to love her back? And Moira is having none of it. She knows what’s right, and has the power to change the course of Frankie’s life... but Moira is hiding secrets of her own.

A moving tale of unconventional families, relationships that aren’t quite what they seem, and the child at the heart of everyone’s lives.

Kate Binchy reads this complete, uncut story of heartbreak and hope from best-selling author Maeve Binchy.

Heartwarming

A lovely read by Kate Binchy who absolutely brings Maeve Binchy’s characters to life. I shed a few tears in this story.

Another heartwarming read

I loved the characterisation in this book and the wonderful way Kate was able to make the players come alive through her narration. I was left with a few questions in the end, in particular with regards to Maura. however this did not detract from my thorough enjoyment of the book. Truly a warm and heartwarming slice of life….as comforting as a hot cup of chocolate on a cold day.

She’s done it again

This story was heartwarming, with old characters mixed in with some new and set in a more modern time, without loosing its charm. I love the way Maeve writes but the combination of Maeve & Kate is dynamite.

It's a novel

I found it a bit tedious - a slow moving novel, a story about a whole bunch of characters and how they fit together. I found it slow moving, but it did leave you with a clear message that love is the thing, and if you stick together and look after each other, anything is possible.
