The #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Cathy Kelly brings you a story about one mother holding it all together, while starting to fall apart - told with her trademark sparkling warmth, humour and honesty.

'Honest, funny, clever, it sparkles with witty, wry observations on modern life. I loved it' Marian Keyes

The greatest gift of all...

Freya Abalone's life looks perfect from the outside: big family, dream career and a gorgeous new home. But she can't stop thinking that something is missing, that maybe she's not good enough...

And now Freya's happy, blended family is about to be turned upside-down. For years Freya has raised her husband's daughter as her own, but now her glamorous, party-loving birth mother, Elisa, has crashed back into their lives.

If there's one thing that Freya's sure of, it's that her family is the greatest gift of all - and when life gives you lemons, you throw them right back!
