A young woman must summon the courage to rebuild her life after a tragedy and find hope in friendship in this heartwarming novel.

Emma is twenty-six--pretty, intelligent, and happily living with her childhood sweetheart John in a cute little Dublin apartment. Her biggest problem is that her mother won't stop nagging her to get married already. Emma and John already feel like the perfect couple but out of the blue, a tragedy throws her life into disarray and Emma is suddenly, incomprehensibly, alone.

As she emerges from grief, Emma must find a whole new way of living, and her loyal friends rally round in an attempt to help. Clodagh, Emma's lifelong friend, with whom she's shared everything from mud pies to dating disasters. Anne and Richard, more-or-less happily married and debating a move to the country. Emma's brother Noel, the young Catholic priest, finding his own faith tested even as he tries to comfort Emma. Seán, the gorgeous bad boy of a thousand one-night stands, uncomfortably aware of his and Emma's growing connection.

With an amazing insight into the power of friendship and a wry, irreverent humor that considers no subject off-limits, talented writer Anna McPartlin tells a heartwarming story of the courage it takes to move past loss and learn to live.
