Acclaimed author Carlene O'Connor has long enchanted readers with her charming, smart, and quirky bestselling mysteries set in Ireland's idyllic locales. Now she delivers a heartfelt, relatable novel about one woman who travels to the Emerald Isle hoping to find a new direction for her
life -- and finds so much more...
Carlene Rivers is many things. Dutiful, reliable, kind. Lucky? Not so much. At 30, she's living a stifling existence in Cleveland, Ohio. Then one day, Carlene buys a raffle ticket. The prize: a pub on the west coast of Ireland. Carlene is stunned when she wins. Everyone else is stunned when she actually goes.

As soon as she arrives in Ballybeog, Carlene is smitten not just by the town's beguiling mix of ancient and modern, but by the welcome she receives. In this small town near Galway Bay, strife is no stranger, strangers are family, and no one is ever too busy for a cup of tea or a pint. And though her new job presents challenges -- from a meddling neighbor to the pub's colorful regulars -- there are compensations galore. Like the freedom to sing, joke, and tell stories, and in doing so, find her own voice. And in her flirtation with Ronan McBride, the pub's charming, reckless former owner, she just may find the freedom to follow where impulse leads and trust her heart -- and her luck -- for the very first time...
