From the outside, the welcoming houses of Summer Street are the picture of Irish charm. But on the inside, unexpected secrets swirl. At number thirty-two, hardworking single-mother Faye Reid conceals the truth about her marriage from her fiery daughter, Amber.  But Amber, a budding artist, also hides something from her all-too-trusting mother….

At number forty-eight, Maggie Maguire arrives at her childhood home to help her sick mother, a welcome distraction from the life she left behind and the startling secret she’s hiding – from herself.

At thirty-four Summer Street, wise and kind Christie Devlin has the remarkable ability to see into the lives and hearts of others. But when her own past comes back to haunt her – posing a threat to her picture-perfect marriage – this time, the answers aren’t as clear.

‘Summer Street is the new Wisteria Lane’ – Marian Keyes.

Three lives. Three loves. Three reasons to let go.

Izzie Silver left the small Irish town of Tamarin behind her for a new start in New York. A voluptuous beauty, she dreams of running her own model agency for plus-sized women. Life is good – until she breaks her own rules and falls for a married man. On the other side of the ocean. Izzie’s aunt Anneliese discovers that her husband has been having an affair with her best friend. Betrayed by two of the people closest to her, she now faces an uncertain future alone. Then wise, calm Lily, the beloved family matriarch, is taken ill. At her bedside in Ireland, Izzie discovers a past her grandmother never told her of.  But Anneliese faces despair as Lily, the one person she can confide in, starts to slip away. And the lessons each of the women learn – past and present – bring both joy and heartache. Lessons they will carry with them forever.
