'Entertaining, uplifting and warm' Sheila O'Flanagan

A wedding should bring a family together...

Media darling Lisette Lynch is planning the 'show-stopping wedding of the year'. At least, that's what everyone thinks. What she wants is a chance for her to step away from the limelight and enjoy an intimate celebration of love and family.

Lisette's sister Jools knows their magazine editor mother has a different vision: big, glamorous and picture-perfect. So when Jools offers to help plan the wedding, really she's trying to figure out a way to keep everyone happy.

Ali has earned a reputation as a powerful businesswomen, but her highest priority has always been her daughters' happiness. She once thought this meant lying to them about the past, and now she fears the wedding will raise questions she can't answer.

And as Lisette's big day draws nearer, and tensions continue to rise, a letter arrives that threatens to uncover the secrets Ali has kept hidden for years...
