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 wished—even 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 Deirdre’s day, a triumph for a
woman obsessed with keeping up appearances, her silvery
revenge after “marrying down” twenty-five years ago. She’s
determined to show them all: the maid of honor, still
unmarried, still gorgeous, now a successful London
business woman…the best man, once Desmond’s close friend,
now his boss…their 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
love—and truth.
