Everyone loves Sister Bridget. The cheerful Mother Superior of St Philomena's convent is a friend to many in the town of Fairbridge and the irrepressible caller at the weekly Parish Bingo. There is nothing she can't sort out with a kind word, a cup of tea, and a slice of her amazing chocolate cake.

But as the Christmas tree goes up and festive cheer rises, a visitor arrives at the convent who doesn't like Sister Bridget one bit. Sister Bridget soon learns that secrets are bubbling to the surface back home in Ireland - especially for her younger sister Mary. She will need to face up to past deeds, however well-intended.

With the help of her friends, and the power of love and forgiveness, maybe she can finally make things right.

Sweet Mercies reminds us that none of us is perfect, and everybody deserves another chance at finding peace and happiness.
