âThe perfect winter heart-warmer.ââCathy Kelly, bestselling author of Between Sisters and Secrets of a Happy Marriage
The days are turning colder, preparations are under way for the Winter Fest, and everyone is hoping for a little holiday magic on the Finfarran peninsula. And as Cassie Fitzgerald, fresh from Toronto, is about to discover, thereâs more to the holidays on the west coast of Ireland than mistletoe and mince pies.
Enchanted by the small town where her dad was born, Cassie makes friends and joins local librarian Hanna Caseyâs writing group in Lissbeg Library. But the more sheâs drawn into the festivities leading up to her first Irish Christmas, the more questions she wants to ask.
Why does her sweet-tempered grandmother Pat find it so hard to express her feelings? Whatâs going on between Pat and her miserly husband Ger? What happened in the past between the Fitzgeralds and Hannaâs redoubtable mother Mary Casey? And what about Shay: handsome, funny, smart, and intent on making Cassieâs stay as exciting as he can. Could he be the one for her?
As Christmas Eve approaches, itâs Cassie, the outsider, who reminds Lissbegâs locals that love, family, and friendship bring true magic to the season. But will her own, fractured family rediscover the joys of coming home?
