Waiting for Frankie

A WORLD-BESTSELLING AUTHOR IS BACK WITH A STORY FULL OF JOY AND HOPE. Frankie's mother is desperate to find someone to care for her daughter, but she doesn't have much time left. Noel doesn't seem like the most promising of parents, but despite everything, he may be the girl's greatest hope. Lisa is ready to give up everything for the man she loves; but will he love her back? And Moira knows what's right and has the power to change Frankie's life, but she also has secrets to hide. Waiting for Frankie is a story about unconventional families, relationships that aren't what they seem, and a baby at the center of everyone's lives. One of Maeve Binchy's greatest strengths is introducing new characters into the story without creating any sense of awkwardness, a common trait in novels with multiple heroes. And once they're woven into the plot, readers find it hard not to become attached, for better or worse. “A writer with an extraordinary gift.” (The New York Times) “At last, Maeve is back, and in top form!” (The Times)
