520 _aMulberry Hotel, perched on a clifftop above a sweeping bay, was once the heart and soul of the Irish town around it. In the Forbes family for generations, the place itself was almost as beloved as cheery landlady Anna. The hotel was also once home to thirty-something sisters Lucy and Penny, and while youngest sister Penny still lives close by, it's been some time since Lucy has been back. But following Anna's untimely death, the older sister is forced to return from her busy London life and confront the reality not only of her beloved mother's demise, but the troubling deterioration of the hotel. When it becomes apparent that the property may need to be sold, Lucy and Penny are unprepared by the reaction of their father, Ned. A quiet but difficult man with whom they've always had a fractious relationship, Ned Forbes steadfastly refuses to give up the hotel, revealing that he's given up something equally precious once before. Startled by their father's surprising revelation, the sisters unite, with the local community behind them, in their efforts to save the hotel - and, in the process, heal the fractures in the Forbes family.
