Book Giveaway - "A Time For Friends" By Patricia Scanlan

I love a cozy read, especially a book set in Ireland with heartwarming themes, just perfect for a Maeve Binchy fan like me.

Today, I'm delighted to introduce you to Patricia Scanlan, the #1 internationally bestselling author, and her newest novel about the complexities of lifelong friendship.

I'm also thrilled to offer you an opportunity to win a copy of A Time For Friends, graciously offered by Atria Books (a division of Simon & Schuster) as a prize for one of Irish American Mom's readers.

But before I share details of how to enter this little giveaway, let's first explore the comforting themes of this new Irish novel.

A Time For Friends

When are the boundaries of friendship pushed too far, and when is it time to stop flying over oceans for someone who wouldn’t jump over a puddle for you? 

There comes a time when Hilary Hammond has to make that call.

Hilary and Colette O’Mahony have been friends since childhood, but when irrepressible Jonathan Harpur breezes into Hilary’s life and goes into business with her, Colette is not pleased.

After their first encounter, Colette thinks he’s a “pushy upstart” while he thinks she’s “a snobby little diva.” And so the battle lines are drawn—and Hilary is square in the middle.

But as the years roll by and each of them is faced with difficult times and tough decisions, one thing is clear: to have a friend you must be a friend.
