EVERY FAMILY HAS SECRETS. SOME ARE JUST BETTER AT HIDING THEIRS...

'You will fall in love with every one of the Tobin family' Edel Coffey

'Smart and highly perceptive, this is a writer who is not afraid to tell it as it is. The Last Days of Joy is a brave and profoundly honest book, written with dark humour' Kathleen McMahon

'A really engaging, raw, page turner of a novel about family, dysfunction & how the past always catches up with you' Sinead Moriarty

MEET THE TOBIN FAMILY ...

Conor, the high-achieving CEO and media darling
walking a fine line between self-promotion and self-destruction

Frances, the 'perfect' middle child
on the verge of making a mistake that could destroy her marriage.

Sinead, the acclaimed writer
driven to desperate measures to deliver another guaranteed bestseller to her publisher.

And their mother, Joy
with one last devastating secret to share

As Conor, Frances and Sinead gather to say goodbye to Joy, they finally come to understand her past, and the woman she became.

The Last Days of Joy is a powerful, unforgettable story about family and dysfunction, heartbreak and healing, and how it's never too late to forgive those you love, and yourself.

'Authentic, deeply moving and full of hope, this book broke my heart a little' Jacqueline Bublitz, bestselling author of Before You Knew My Name
