Fünf Jahre war Moll Gladney verschwunden. Fünf Jahre, in denen ihre Eltern versucht haben, die Trümmer ihres Lebens zusammenzuhalten. Doch plötzlich ist ihre Tochter wieder da, 25 inzwischen. Ohne ein Wort, wo sie gewesen ist, einen Hinweis, warum sie sich nie gemeldet hat. Gerade als sich die Wogen aus Klatsch und Tratsch in der kleinen irischen Gemeinde beinahe wieder gelegt haben, klopft die Polizei an die Tür der Gladneys – mit unfassbaren Neuigkeiten.

Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes bringt Eileen ihre Tochter allein durch und verzweifelt fast, als sich die Geschichte wiederholt und auch ihre eigene Tochter jung und unehelich Mutter wird.

Doch die Entscheidung, die sie letztlich trifft, ist so unkon­ventionell wie mutig.
