Minding Frankie

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Maeve Binchy is back with a tale of joy, heartbreak and hope, about a motherless girl collectively raised by a close-knit Dublin community.

When Noel learns that his terminally ill former flame is pregnant with his child, he agrees to take guardianship of the baby girl once she’s born. But as a single father battling demons of his own, Noel can’t do it alone.

Fortunately, he has a competent, caring network of friends, family and Lisa, his unlucky-in-love classmate, who moves in with him to help raise baby Frankie – while a suspicious social worker keeps a watchful eye on them all. A heartwarming novel from a beloved Irish storyteller, set in the snug community of St. Jarlath’s Crescent.
