In the 1980’s a poor Irish girl is sent to live with relatives, that she doesn’t know, for the summer while her mother awaits the birth of another child. She is welcomed unconditionally into the household. She is shown familial love and affection which she never experienced before. When it is time to return home she is torn, wanting to be with her family and wanting to stay in a household where love and kindness is shown everyday.
A very sweet book.
