Book Details
About the Book
At forty-two, Maura Morris had life exactly where she wanted it: a glossy TV career in London, a designer wardrobe, and a boyfriend worth doing her nails for. Then a devastating betrayal sent her running home to Ireland — trading heels for hiking boots, and her polished London life for a little white house on the wild Connemara coast, determined to heal her heart in peace and quiet.
Just as she's starting to believe the worst is behind her, Maura ends up alone on her bathroom floor in the middle of the night, waiting for an ambulance — and about to discover that a shock arthritis diagnosis is going to test her fresh start in ways she never saw coming.
Rebuilding means learning to ask for help, from a fiercely loyal young carer who quickly becomes family, and — quite unexpectedly — from a courtly Galway professor with silver at his temples who just happened to be sitting in the seat beside hers. But starting over is never that simple, and Maura is about to learn that showing someone your real self — crutches, flare-ups, freckles and all — might just be the bravest thing she's ever done.
Warm, funny and full of heart, A Man for Maura is a story about second chances, unlikely friendships, and discovering that home isn't always where you left it.
Have you met Kerry Manning…
Kerry Manning is a novelist from the West of Ireland whose warm, witty fiction speaks directly to women navigating the second half of life. Her debut novel, Learning to Love Lucy, introduces us to Lucy — a woman stepping out of a stifling marriage and into an uncertain but exhilarating new world. Dating apps, disastrous first dates and a friend's irresistibly younger brother all conspire to upend everything Lucy thought she knew about love and herself. It's a story about shedding the habit of apology and finally choosing joy.
The Inverbridge Series continues with Rose Has a Right to Happiness, which follows another compelling woman determined to claim the life she deserves. In November the third in the series – A Man for Maura will be published.
Kerry Manning writes with heart and humour about the things that matter most — love, courage, and the quiet revolution of putting yourself first. Based in County Galway, she brings an authentically Irish voice to contemporary women's fiction, and her books will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered if it's too late to start again. Spoiler: it never is.
