The tale of Lillie finding her roots, seeking biological parents, of travelling halfway around the world and forging a wonderful bond with a brother she never knew she had. As she has been recently widowed this huge distraction does her the world of good and she eventually returns to Australia a much happier woman.

Only twenty-seven, Peggy is opening her own knitting shop in town but her past threatens to unravel any prospect of love and a family of her own. Lillie is the friend they both need. Newly arrived in the small Irish town from Australia, she's no stranger to secrets and heartache. Wrapped in the warmth of the community, Lillie must help herself and her new friends rediscover the joy in life...
