About the Book
A heartwarming novel to fall in love with
The day Heather, Niamh and Lauren met, they promised to be best friends for life, and that instant connection only grew stronger with their weekly sunrise swims in their stunning local lake. When they left school, they agreed that, no matter where life took them, every year on midsummer’s dawn, they would meet at their old spot and swim together.
Now, fifteen years later, the tradition has disappeared in the face of life’s realities. In fact, they don’t speak any more – not since that night . . .
But this summer, they find themselves back in their Irish hometown and realise this could be their last chance to recapture what they have lost. Will their return to sunrise swimming heal each of them, and help them rekindle the friendships they once treasured?
About The Author
Rosie Hannigan writes uplifting novels of friendship, love, and hope. When she’s not writing, she enjoys gardening, where she listens to podcasts and ponders what it is that makes us human and how marvellous it is that we prevail no matter what we come up against. When she’s not gardening, she’s stargazing, usually with the love of her life by her side and a glass of red in her hand. And every now and then she hops on the back of her husband’s motorbike in the hopes that the passing countryside will serve her some inspiration.
