In this charming Irish tale of love, friendship and family, twenty-six-year-old Aislin, a Dublin single mammy, is at a crossroads: while a lot of her life needs improvement, what she really needs is a father. Not for herself, mind, but for her young son, daddy-hungry Kevin--she’s determined to succeed at motherhood, if nothing else. So Aislin follows the mad impulse to track down the perfect father-figure for her little boy...who else but Ben Carpenter, her first love.
As attractive and fun as ever, and a steady kind of guy you can always depend on, Ben is great father material--and is soon mad about Kevin. Still, commitment-shy Aislin is determined to keep things platonic, especially after her truly awful breakup with him seven years ago. But she has a way of mucking up her most inspired schemes. Tucked away in Ben's country manor house in County Galway, Kevin in tow, she finds herself falling in lust with Ben, yet she wonders if she can risk her heart a second time. Then a surprising gesture from her estranged father creates a seismic shift in her relationship with him, and Aislin embarks on a journey with unexpected consequences. In this heartfelt novel of love, second chances and forgiveness, will Aislin create the family she's dreamed of?
The Village of Ballydara series includes Mother Love, The Hopeful Romantic, and 2 short stories...The newest book of the series (#4), The Galway Girls, is now available!
Susan Colleen Browne is also the author of the award-winning Little Farm in the Foothills, a heartwarming, true-life story of modern homesteading. Her Morgan Carey series, fantasy-adventures for tweens, features ghosts, fairies, magic spells...and The Goonies Anniversary Celebration!
"Browne has done wonderful work in capturing Ireland's language, socioeconomic picture and current cultural milieu from pubs to puddings." --The Bellingham Herald
