'An enthralling read with . . . so many laughs along the way' Liz Nugent
'A funny, poignant and moving read' My Weekly
Two women, decades apart, united by hope.
All Caroline wants is to be a mum - that shouldn't be too much to ask, is it? But after years of trying, she's had no luck - oh, and to make matters worse her husbands is leaving her.
Determined to not give up on her dream, Caroline turns to her last lifeline, the women of her infertility support group.
While the women could not be more different, they form unbreakable friendships. There's Natalie, whose girlfriend is much less excited about having children than her. There's Janet, whose husband might be having an affair. And then there's mysterious, glamourous, jet-setting Ronnie, who won't tell anyone her story . . .
Decades earlier, Catherine tries to rebuild her life in the big city lights of Dublin. Cast out by her family and shunned for having a baby at sixteen, she finds solace in a band of fellow outcasts. Catherine dreams of being reunited with the baby that was so cruelly taken from her. A dream that she is willing to sacrifice everything for . . .
From bestselling Irish writer Anna McPartlin, Waiting for the Miracle is an uplifting novel about how good friends can help you see the funny side of life, even in the darkest of days. Perfect for fans of Sheila O'Flanagan and Marian Keyes.
