A heartwarming novel to fall in love with
Experience the magic of Ireland in this heartwarming book about friendship and second chances
A heartwarming novel to fall in love with
The day Heather, Niamh, and Lauren met, they promised to be best friends for life, and that instant connection only grew stronger with their weekly sunrise swims in their stunning local lake. When they left school, they agreed that, no matter where life took them, every year on midsummerβs dawn, they would meet at their old spot and swim together.
Now, fifteen years later, the tradition has disappeared in the face of lifeβs realities. In fact, they donβt speak any more β not since that night...
But this summer, they find themselves back in their Irish hometown and realise this could be their last chance to recapture what they have lost. Will their return to sunrise swimming heal each of them, and help them rekindle the friendships they once treasured?
