At forty-two, Maura Morris had life exactly where she wanted it: a glossy TV career in London, a designer wardrobe, and a boyfriend worth doing her nails for. Then a devastating betrayal sent her running home to Ireland — trading heels for hiking boots, and her polished London life for a little white house on the wild Connemara coast, determined to heal her heart in peace and quiet.
Just as she's starting to believe the worst is behind her, Maura ends up alone on her bathroom floor in the middle of the night, waiting for an ambulance — and about to discover that a shock arthritis diagnosis is going to test her fresh start in ways she never saw coming.
Rebuilding means learning to ask for help, from a fiercely loyal young carer who quickly becomes family, and — quite unexpectedly — from a courtly Galway professor with silver at his temples who just happened to be sitting in the seat beside hers. But starting over is never that simple, and Maura is about to learn that showing someone your real self — crutches, flare-ups, freckles and all — might just be the bravest thing she's ever done.
Warm, funny and full of heart, A Man for Maura is a story about second chances, unlikely friendships, and discovering that home isn't always where you left it.
