After she sang, she brought out a hat box that contained the most beautiful large brim hat that Carol Rose had ever seen. Her grandma gave her the hat and told her this hat would bring her happiness. She asked Carol Rose to think of her when she was old enough to wear it. Several months later, her precious grandma passed away. Carol Rose loved her grandma so much she felt her heart would break. When she was sixteen, she wore the hat to church and immediately thought of her dear grandma. She said a special prayer and asked her grandma to always watch over her. As she walked home, a strong gust of wind blew the hat off her head. She ran to catch it, but the wind lifted it high in the air. She asked her grandma to please help her find it. Would Carol Rose ever find the hat? Grandmas are special to their grandchildren, and even though they are gone, their love keeps them close in our heart.

Caity jumps at the opportunity to travel abroad and escape her pathetic life. However, even four thousand miles from home, there’s no avoiding debt collectors, an overbearing mother, and haunting memories of a controlling ex. While in Dublin, Caity suffers a series of humiliating mishaps, causing her to lose even more faith in herself.

Caity and Declan spend evenings exploring Paris and researching her Irish grandmother’s mysterious past, uncovering secrets that could tear Caity’s family apart. Declan reveals his own secret, which might bring Caity and him closer, despite her attempts to keep an emotional distance from the charming womanizer. However, the only way to help Declan open up and heal might be to confide in him about her past. Caity finally has faith in herself—can she learn to have faith that others won’t judge her mistakes? *This series is best when read in order.

That is, until Declan and Caity visit rural Ireland and their relationship comes to a crossroads.
