Shivaun Reilly has had enough. Still reeling from the loss of the only family she ever knew, passionately angry at the closure of her beloved hospital, she thinks her heart will break when solid, dependable Ivor - the man she always thought she'd marry - decides to give up his glossy career to follow rugged new paths in Spain.
Shivaun's ever-helpful lodger Alana finds the perfect solution: a job in America as a private nurse, away from all the politics and disappointments. She can't wait to go - and in a pretty New England town, she finds a whole new world of optimism and friendship.
But neither happiness nor unhappiness is that easy to leave behind. Helpful Alana had her own reasons for coming to Shivaun's rescue, and soon, her lies and evasions have led her into trouble. Though Shivaun meets new friends, including a fascinating Irishman, in New England not all of them are what they seem to be. And in Spain, Ivor has begun to rethink his rash decision.
Shivaun discovers both America and some important truths. Truths that are as challenging as they are liberating . . .
