Later on, there is a devastating betrayal that happens to Ria and she doesn't know how to get through it. It so happens at this time, that another woman gets in contact with Ria for an opportunity to exchange homes for the summer. This gives Ria some solace, and taking another woman up on it, she goes to the US and the other woman, Marilyn, moves into Ria's house on Tara Road in Ireland.
What these two women gain from the exchange is remarkable.
The review of this Book prepared by Boppy
Rita was not the most fabulous looking of women, but there was something about her that Danny couldn't keep away from.
Danny, smug, handsome, and someone Rita thought she could trust wholeheartedly. Why wouldn't she? Friends...Are your friends really your friends?...Sometimes you have to look across the Atlantic to find your true ones.

The review of this Book prepared by Maria
An absolutely marvelous book. The story of family & friends in Ireland and a glimpse into their interesting lives. (It was like being a fly on the wall, watching things unfold in front of me! It was great!) Also, a family from the United States, and how the two make a journey into each others lives, to heal and grow.
