2000s: The story of one woman and her family’s struggle with the big C
When Grace Devlin is diagnosed with cancer, she worries for her son as she’s a single mother. She is told that her best chance of survival is to find a bone marrow transplant. With the help of her friends she bravely embarks on a journey of discovery – one that will bring her from her home in vibrant Dublin to the unspoilt beauty of Wexford, where Grace must unravel a web of lies and deceit that has spanned over thirty years.
With a wonderful cast of supporting characters and plenty of Irish charm, this will have you laughing and crying at the turn of a page.
The city of Dublin and the smaller one of Wexford are just a background to this story as the main setting is that of the big C and how not just the person with it, but also their family has to deal with it and cope.
It’s a poignant and upsetting read at times but one also of hope and perseverance.
