Cosy up with a warm and insightful bookclub novel about Christmas traditions and enduring family bonds, from the USA Today & Irish Times #1 bestselling author.
The first family Christmas without her. The traditions that will keep them together.
Estranged siblings Romy, Matt, and Joanna return to their Dublin childhood home for the first Christmas after the death of their beloved mother, Cathy.
Grief has pulled them apart and old resentments linger—but Cathy has left them one final gift: a selection of her favourite holiday traditions to complete together in her absence.
From picking out the tree, rediscovering festive childhood mementos, and re-engaging with the local community, each Christmas task brings nostalgia, unexpected laughter and the chance to heal old wounds.
And as they slowly discover what it means to be a family without the heart of their home, the siblings learn that even in the hardest season, a mother's love can still light the way.
