In a heartfelt story set in a picturesque small town in Virginia, Mary McDonough
portrays three generations of women in a modern Irish-American family as they
navigate marriage, motherhood, and independence. . . The Fitzgibbons--
especially the women--have long been the backbone of Oliver's Well, Virginia.
Matriarch Mary Bernadette is still striking and tireless at seventy-five, with a
generous heart that belies her sometimes sharp tongue. Her husband, Paddy,
owns the local landscaping business, daughter Grace is a nun, and son Pat and
his wife Megan are successful lawyers. Her grandson, PJ, and his new wife,
Alexis, live in a charming cottage behind the main house. Church, family,
tradition, and the local historical society--everything Mary Bernadette
cherishes is in Oliver's Well. But below the surface, there are fractures. Megan
sees the strained relationship between her husband and Mary Bernadette, who
has never quite recovered from the painful loss of her first-born son. Megan too
is torn between gaining her mother-in-law's approval and living life on her own
terms. Alexis loves PJ deeply yet chafes against his grandmother's influence in
their marriage. Then a looming scandal brings unexpected tragedy, compelling
the Fitzgibbons to determine the depth of their loyalty, find their strength--and
repair the bonds that have held a town, and a family, together for so long. With
warmth and an abundance of insight, Mary McDonough artfully captures the
shifting dynamics of family life--and the revelations they may bear just in time.
