What readers are saying:
"This endearing foursome, that so many readers of the first book fell in love with, face new challenges with Irish wit and a generally upbeat outlook on life. They're a group of friends that anyone would want to hang out with."
"After finishing it, I kept thinking of the characters and wondered how they were doing. I had to remind myself they weren't real and had to let them go..."
"I couldn't put it down."
"Pure dead brilliant!"
The story
Irish couple Fergal and Brídgeen Griffin get an intriguing wedding gift: the chance to manage a Finger Lakes winery. When they move to Keuka Lake from Queens, see the rundown winery and meet its surly winemaker, they realize it will be quite a challenge getting from grapevine to bottle.
Meanwhile their friends Maeve and Andy face a challenge of their own, separation as he pursues experimental therapy for his paraplegia.
As the two couples face the challenges ahead, will they be able to keep hope alive?

Hi Mary Pat,
I Finished A Sudden Gift of Fate this week. A 4 day read with this book. I enjoyed it so much and I’m way past ready for the 3rd sequel!!! I want to visit The Finger Lakes after reading this book. Wish I could meet Fergal, Bridgeen, Maeve & Andy there. I hope the region is as nice as the book makes it sound. Good Luck on the 3rd book. Can’t wait for it to come out!!!

Delighted to hear your review, DWD.
Trust me, you would LOVE the Finger Lakes. Last summer, In a travel magazine poll, Keuka Lake beat out Lake Como in Italy as the most beautiful lake to visit.
I’m framing the story for the third book. Plan to get down to active writing by November, for National Novel Writing Month. I’ll keep everyone posted on the progress.
Thanks again for your kind words!
Mary Pat
