Women's Fiction
“A warm, heartfelt novel about what it means to belong to
a family. You won't want to put it down.” --Mary Alice
Monroe, New York Times bestselling author of A
Lowcountry Wedding 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 here. Yet
below the surface, there are fractures. Megan sees the strained relationship between her husband and
Mary Bernadette, who has never quite recovered from the 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. But when a
looming scandal brings unexpected tragedy, the Fitzgibbons
are compelled 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.
