Always and Forever

Always and Forever by Cathy Kelly is a warm and engaging novel about friendship, family, work, love, and the pressures of trying to hold everything together. Set in the Irish town of Carrickwell, the story follows three women whose lives are far more complicated than the peaceful countryside around them suggests.

Mel is juggling motherhood with a demanding career in public relations. Cleo is determined to revive her family’s struggling hotel despite resistance from her traditional parents. Daisy, a stylish fashion buyer, is dealing with her own hopes and disappointments as she longs to start a family.

Their paths cross at the new Clouds Hill spa, where each arrives in need of rest and perspective. As friendships form, the women begin to reassess what truly matters and find the strength to face the challenges waiting for them.
