- February the fifteenth is a very special day for me. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. It is also the day my husband left me... I can only assume the two events weren"t entirely unrelated.Claire has everything she ever wanted: a husband she adores, a great apartment, a good job. Then, on the day she gives birth to their first baby, James informs her that he"s leaving her. Claire is left with a newborn daughter, a broken heart, and a postpartum body that she can hardly bear to look at.She decides to go home to Dublin. And there, sheltered by the love of a quirky family, she gets better. So much so, in fact, that when James slithers back into her life, he"s in for a bit of a surprise.
