It’s a celebration, but Dee McKenna’s heart is breaking.

The potatoes for the family lunch are half-peeled and forgotten in the kitchen, and Dee is upstairs, clutching a fragile boat made of folded paper. The tears won’t stop as she thinks about Sean, Fionn and Oisin. The three O’Connell boys who over the last twenty years, changed her life forever.

The one she loved, the one she married, and the one who died…

Be mesmerised by this deep, emotional and completely heartbreaking story about lives intertwined over twenty years. A story about second chances and the strength of love that will have you destroying the tissues. Perfect for fans of Paige Toon, Jodi Picoult and Jojo Moyes.
