‘Make no mistake, there is magic at work’ Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times
‘Oh, the bliss … Maeve’s back, on top form … The heart is the theme, literally and metaphorically, and this is heartwarming stuff’ The Times
Clara Casey has more than enough on her plate: two difficult daughters, a demanding new job running a heart clinic and an ex-husband who wants something from her . . .
For Ania, meeting Clara is a miracle. She never intended to leave Poland – but perhaps a new country will mend her broken heart? Then there’s Father Flynn, whose life is turned upside down when his reputation is threatened; and the beautiful, troubled nurse, Fiona, who can’t leave the secrets of her past behind . . .
