An emotional and uplifting Irish bestseller, perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan and Heidi Swain.
Three estranged sisters. Six months to come back together.
When Georgie, Iris and Nola's mother died, the sisters made a pact: they would always be there for one another, no matter what.
Now, decades later, they can barely stand to be in the same room. As his health declined, their father came up with a plan to bring them back to one another. He stated in his will that before they can claim their inheritance, they must spend six months living together in the Irish village of Ballycove, and try to repair their broken relationships.
But reunited in their childhood home, old resentments boil over, new secrets threaten to come out and each sister must decide what matters more: their pride, or their family. Can they overcome their past and find a way to love each other once more?

Title: Great family saga
Review: When Georgie, Iris, and Nola were just children, their mother died. In an attempt to console their youngest sister, Georgie and Iris promise Nola that they will always be there for each other, no matter what. As the sisters grew older they naturally became more independent of each other. However, as is normal in all families, there were some major disagreements and words said that should have never been uttered. Add in a series of misunderstandings and the sisters no longer speak to each other and seldom, if ever, visit or call their father.Fast forward a couple of decades and the three estranged sisters' late father's will stipulates that the trio has six months to make an attempt to repair their tattered and shattered relationship before they can claim their inheritance. He tried even after his death to heal his fractured family.Reunited back in the family home in a small Irish town, tempers flare, misunderstandings continue, and at times if seems as if their resentments escalate. Can Georgie, Iris, and Nola put aside their differences? Will they ever actually talk through their initial disagreements and learn to move forward? Are they able to put family before pride and resentment?Faith Hogan tells an engaging tale and makes the characters quite realistic. I've read a few reviews that bring out the continued arguing and miscommunicating between the sisters but I found that to be realistic since some people cannot listen to another's thoughts/opinions without taking offense in real life, let alone a novel. Despite what some of the naysayers feel, I think this is definitely worth reading and it would make a great book club read.

Title: Family
Review: A wonderful story showing how we can picture others lives knowing very little of the reality. Also full of hope when given the chance you can truly rewrite your story. One must be able to truly take an honest look at themselves and forgive and be forgiven.

Title: Very predictable!
Review: The story was just okay for me. My main complaint was that I often could not tell who was talking. There was no transition before the story changed characters/scenes so that I had to reread to figure out if I had skipped something. Maybe my mind just drifted as the story was definitely not a page turner. I also had trouble distinguishing the charactersâ dialogue from their thoughts.

Title: Entertaining

Title: A book of life really
Review: I wasnât sure Iâd like this book at all. It started slowly. But as I got to know the sisters, I realized many families are just like them. Sadly not all of them kiss and make up. Itâs one of those books that take you away. You know the kind that you form a picture in your mind of each of them. Definitely would recommend it.

Title: Good Read
Review: I enjoyed the story even though I thought it got bogged down a bit. The sisters took a long time to work out their problems, and I donât tend to believe life always works out perfect in the end. It isnât realisticâ¦but it makes a good story.
