An occasion to celebrate when Desmond and Deirdre Coyle must gather family and friends around them in rememberence of the twenty-five years of marriage they've shared.

A moment of reckoning as an uneasy couple is forced to face a hapless daughter struggling to become a nun, a son who prefers the bleak family farm in Ireland to London, the once best man now Desmond's boss, Deirdre's bridesmaid now a successful career woman, and their priest with his guilty secret.

A time of transformation for their eldest daughter, Anna. For only Anna can confront their tarnished lives and find a truth to draw them into a circle of love that might nourish, protect, and finally heal them all.
