Three men go fishing, leaving their wives and children behind. When the
men don't return, two of their wives are understandably distraught. One
wife, well, not so much.
Kathy McNamara, a successful attorney, never thought she'd ever get
married. Not after her heart was shattered by her high school boyfriend,
Conor Clancy. But when Kathy meets Jack McNamara at her twentieth high
school reunion and they marry after a whirlwind courtship, Kathy finally has
the happily ever after she'd always dreamed of. Her heart, finally healed.
And sure, Jack's not perfect. And yes, Conor Clancy is still his best friend
who Kathy now has to see all the time. But Kathy's life, if not perfect, is still
pretty damn good. Well, aside from pesky Conor and his insipid twenty
something wife Trisha.
So things are good. Not good, they're great, which is why Kathy is completely
unprepared for her life to fall apart when Jack and Conor and their other
high school friend Sean don't return from their fishing trip. And Kathy is
certainly not prepared when heavily pregnant Trisha seems very
unbothered by it all.

Meet Bernadette Walsh
I have always been a bookworm and had always meant to write a novel “someday.” You know, when I won the lottery and could live in beach house and look out onto the water and feel inspired. Twelve years ago I decided to stop waiting for my winning lottery ticket and sat down and started writing. In between work and family obligations, I piled the words on top of each other until they formed sentences, paragraphs, chapters and eventually a book. While I’ve hopped around genres, all of my books to date have a common theme: strong women handling what life throws at them the best way they can.
I am also the host of a podcast, Nice Girls Reading Naughty Books.
