Welcome to Ireland, Sandycove and Sian O'Gorman's wonderful warm and heartwarming stories of love, family and dreams...

Dreams can come true, you just have to believe...

After 10 years in London, working in a stressful City firm, Liv O’Neill returns home to Sandycove, a picturesque seaside village, just outside Dublin to care for her mother after a fall.

Whilst Liv reconnects with friends and family, she is amazed by Sandycove’s thriving community spirit with its artisan shops, delis and cafes - it’s not quite the place she left behind.

As village life begins to creep under her skin, Liv is forced to confront the things that drove her away.

Can Liv balance her past, present and future and find her own happy place?

And will a handsome young doctor help her make a decision about the life she really wants?

Suddenly her old life in London begins to seem extremely unappealing and Liv is forced to use her family’s past in order to forge a brand new future.

A warm, compelling and emotional novel about love, family and coming to terms with your past and future.

Perfect for fans of Faith Hogan, Patricia Scanlon and Lucy Dillon.
