About this listen
A family brought together by the person they said goodbye to long ago...
Meet the Tobin family...
Joy, the complicated, troubled mother
She's spent her life running from her past while trying to raise her children as best she can.
Conor, the high-achieving eldest child
A high-profile media figure and CEO, he's walking a fine line between self-promotion and self-detonation.
Frances, the 'perfect' middle child
Now a wife and mother, she's about to make a mistake that could destroy her marriage.
Youngest daughter, Sinead, the acclaimed writer
Wrestling with writer's block, she resorts to desperate measures to deliver her next bestselling book to her publishers.
When Joy's children receive the news that she has only days to live, they rush to her side, bringing with them all of the dysfunction and hurt they have been carrying since their childhoods. Each of them is at a crossroads in their lives - but there's one more secret about their mother they need to learn. Will they finally be able to forgive their mother and, in doing so, face their futures together?

I loved it
I just didn't want this book to end. I loved it, and finished it in just one day. Narrators were all great and the story was excellent

Truly wonderful! Heartbreaking yet hopeful!
What an incredible debut novel. This beautifully written book takes us on a journey with each of the characters. From when we first meet them, through to the hopeful end of the book, they each go through such a personal journey. I found myself feeling such love and empathy for each of them. Anne is clearly an incredibly talented writer.

I didn’t love it!
I was ambivalent about this book. I listened all the way through but there was something about it that didn’t sit well with me. I’m not sure if it was the writer or the narrators that let it down.
