'Meaney weaves wonderful, feel-good tales of a consistently high standard' Irish Examiner
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.
But 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 and Lydia is unexpectedly reminded of the power of new beginnings, she realises she might just owe it to herself and them to take a second chance on Chance House . . .
