One Irish village, one fixer-upper & one chance to open her heart...

Sometimes friends and romance let you down but Hilda Pride knows she can face anything on her own, so why is she still feeling a little lonely…

Then life throws Hilda a curveball – an unexpected inheritance, a trip to Ireland and a huge but crumbling stately home that might just one day be hers to keep. Still stuck in her ways, Hilda is determined to tackle Mayfield Manor alone, but renovating a mansion single-handed might be beyond even her.

What Hilda needs is friends, so for the first time in years, Hilda Pride dares to lower her defences and everything in her world shifts in an instant. Hilda could never imagine what happens next, but it will change her and a community forever.

Join Claudia Carroll for an uplifting, inspiring and heartwarming novel about the importance of friendship and the power of taking a chance. Perfect for all fans of Marian Keyes, Jojo Moyes, Cecelia Ahern and Shari Low.
