But all that's about to change – this year their friendship will be tested as never before as:
Widowed Kirsty falls in love with someone she shouldn't.Patsy struggles to cope with her beloved husband's redundancy and a shocking revelation from her daughter.Janice is forced to address ghosts from her past.Clare takes control of her life, only to discover that her new-found independence comes at a high price.
Can the sisterhood survive the strains placed upon it and come through it unscathed?

Reviews

"An engrossing read – wonderful.” Maeve Binchy

"Erin Kaye…gave up a career in finance to write, and that, along with her different background, gives her a breadth that many other popular writers here don't have - and makes her one of the best."
- Ann Dunne, Irish Independent Review

"Larne writer Erin Kaye has produced a captivating story full of gritty problems and courageous characters. Readers will be rooting for them all the way."
- Evening Herald

"Way beyond the realms of chick-lit, this very readable book delves into the lives of mothers, daughters, aunts and lovers. Great writing skills here and a most enjoyable read."
- Valerie Cox, Evening Herald
