Description:

**Five lost souls in search of redemption . . .** * * * ****To outsiders it looks as if Mary was born unlucky, but deep down she believes in a happy ending. She just needs someone to remind her. And Sam looks like a waster and a disappointment - the man who had it all and then threw it all away. He needs a fresh start. Penny is the life and soul of every party. She's also a drunk and some would say a home wrecker. She needs someone to understand her. Ivan's a sucker - a man who still cares about the woman who broke his heart and took his children from him. He needs to be brave. And Adam is in a loveless marriage and cheating on his wife, though only he knows why he married the wrong woman. He needs a wake-up call. For these five souls change is going to come, and, when it does, they all get more than they bargained for. ### Review Full of charm ... we couldn't put it down Closer Emotionally charged Heat I loved every page ... It so impressed me that I will be reading it again. Irish Mail on Sunday A delightful roller-coaster ride of emotion Sunday Independent A rollicking good read Sunday World Influenced by the death of her parents and a friend at an early age, McPartlin's books could be grim, but her experience as a stand-up comic provide a counterbalance, producing nicely rounded novels with a light touch ... the perfect escape Irish Independent ### About the Author Anna McPartlin's life and her writing are all about finding humour and humanity in even the darkest situations.
