What to expect
Sometimes life is entirely different to how you dreamed it would be and sometimes that's okay.
For the first time in her seventy-nine years, Evie McCarthy is plagued by the smell of roses. Death is coming for her. Clear as day. She's lucky she has the gift of second sight. It's served her well as Ballyhay's matchmaker, and now she's being forewarned. She just wants enough time to help her daughter and granddaughters realise the important things in life.
Her big-hearted granddaughter Rosie is in love again. That one, she falls in love too quickly. And she won't bring him to meet her gran.
Rosie's married sister, Molly, with two small boys is sleep-deprived, exhausted and wondering what happened to her life. Motherhood isn't supposed to be like this, is it?
Rosie and Molly's mum, Yvonne, is hiding her own devastating secret - she's deeply ashamed and unwilling to face the repercussions of her decisions.
Between the jigs and the reels, they pull one another up and over and come to understand that sometimes life doesn't play out how you hoped it would. But it is a good life.
