From the bestselling author of The Bookshop Ladies, Faith Hogan, comes a wonderfully gripping and poignant story of two sisters and their family hotel in peaceful Ballycove, once a thriving family business now struggling to survive.
Upon their parents' death, sisters Rae Johnson and Blythe Carney split their inheritance. Following their father's wishes, Blythe takes control of the family home, Ivy Hill House, and Rae their family's business, the Stillwater Hotel.
Fee-spirited Rae is under increasing pressure from all sides to make the hotel work but never really wanted the responsibility of it, feeling that organised Blythe would be better placed to run it. Meanwhile Blythe puts her feelings aside and busies herself with committees and village life, always secretly feeling that she lost her dream of being a hotelier.
With tensions already high, Blythe makes a decision to follow her dream and open her own B&B at Ivy Hill House. Now, with the family's inheritance at stake, and their lives in tatters, will the two sisters put aside their differences to come back together, or will the family be destroyed forever?
