Second Chances: The brand new heartwarming read from the bestselling author of Moving On

'Roisin Meaney - utterly authentic, utterly irresistible' Irish Independent

It's never too late for second chances . . .

For the first time in her life, Lydia is taking a great big leap of faith. She's moving to a small town on the west coast of Ireland to overhaul a large, long-abandoned residence named Chance House with her new husband.

When things don't go as planned, Lydia is reminded why she doesn't take chances. Suddenly she's facing a very different prospect: a half-finished ramshackle estate, an overgrown garden, dwindling funds and some difficult choices to make.

Starting over feels impossible. Staying put feels harder still. But when the local community rallies around her, Lydia is unexpectedly reminded of the promise of new beginnings . . .

From the Irish bestseller comes a heart-breaking yet hopeful read about the importance of community and the power of starting over - perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan, Cathy Kelly and Jill Mansell.
