This book is a novel that explores themes of loss, teen mental health issues, love, and past trauma, focusing on a spirited character named Gwen Nugent. Gwen Nugent is a spirited woman who lives with her long-term boyfriend in Galway. She loves the thriving life and business she has built there. Her mother, Bernadine, is a proud lady who adores her son and his family. Aggie,Gwen's niece, is a fifteen-year-old girl who has grown up surrounded by love and good fortune. Until one chilly May morning changes everything. In the wake of catastrophic loss, Gwen uproots her life and returns to Dublin. A place full of painful memories. A devastated Aggie is struggling, and soon Gwen is overwhelmed as she scrambles to find help for her niece. With mental health appointments, school refusal, and Bernadine making decisions out of turn, sparks fly. Gwen resists support repeatedly, but car trouble forces her hand. Maybe it's time to let people in, and some friendly locals are exactly what Gwen needs. If only Aggie's mistakes weren't quite so familiar... Can the three Nugent women navigate their grief together? And what will it take to get back up after life knocks them down?
