There was never any question that Deirdre and Desmond Doyle would celebrate a gala twenty-fifth anniversary. Naturally, their daughter Anna, would plan their grand affair. Of all three Doyle children, Anna knew exactly what their mother wishedโeven as she lived her own secret life. Will Brendan, the rebellious son, even bother to return to London? Will Helen, the hapless would-be nun, embarrass them all? This is Deirdreโs day, a triumph for a woman obsessed with keeping up appearances, her silvery revenge after โmarrying downโ twenty-five years ago. Sheโs determined to show them all: the maid of honor, still unmarried, still gorgeous, now a successful London business womanโฆthe best man, once Desmondโs close friend, now his bossโฆtheir reluctant priest, who harbors his own guilty secret.
As family and friends gather, a lifetime of lies takes its toll. But what begins as a family charade brings with it the transforming power of loveโand truth.
