PIECES OF MY HEART
‘Touching, humorous and a bit of a tear-jerker, this is a brilliant look at family life’ Closer
The modern woman is a Jill of all trades – wife, lover, mother, daughter, friend, fixer, boss … it’s never-ending.
Ava is juggling a life that seems to have too many pieces. First, there are her chalk-and-cheese daughters, Alison the angel and Sarah the tearaway.
Then there’s husband Paul. Unfortunately, he seems more interested in work than home – which might explain why her sex life is practically on life support. That certainly can’t be said about her Viagra-popping dad, a loveable rogue who is determined to grow old disgracefully.
She would envy her best friend, Sally, sassy single singleton-about-town, if she didn’t know that behind her polished exterior Sally is as vulnerable as a kitten.
Somewhere in there is Ava herself, trying to do her best for all of them but lately feeling like she’s running on empty. But that’s before she notices Alison is in deep trouble. Now she knows there’s no such thing as empty – not if she is to hold on to the most precious pieces of her heart …

ME AND MY SISTERS
‘The inevitable comparisons with Marian Keyes are justified and well deserved – Moriarty’s characters are likeable, well developed and funny … A brilliant book for lovers of intelligent chick-lit. You’ll identify with elements of all the characters, guffaw in parts and scowl in others’ Heat
There’s more than one way of being a modern woman, not that the Devlin sisters would admit it … Julie used to be the easy-going sister. But now she’s a mother of four boys under five, her marriage is under strain and she is struggling to keep sane. She needs support, but her sisters don’t understand. After all, their lives are perfect.
Lawyer Louise has always been top of her game, with little time for family and even less for romance. But with a drunken mistake threatening everything she’s worked for, she may need to accept that she needs help to keep going.
Gorgeous Sophie got everything she ever wanted: a loving husband, a beautiful, well-behaved daughter and a designer lifestyle. Her sisters consider her spoiled and shallow but she doesn’t care – that’s until her life is turned upside down and she realizes they may be right. Not that she’s going to let them know the trouble she’s in.
The Devlin sisters think they have little in common. They might just be in for some big surprises …

Sophie and Mandy, Anna and Laura – two daughters and two mothers and a story about the bond of motherly love.
Sophie is a happy eighteen-year-old living in London with Anna, her Irish mother. Anna has devoted her life to Sophie. It may be just the two of them – no father or grandparents, no uncles or aunts – but Anna has more than enough love to give. Sophie has everything she could ever need.
Laura is a not-so-happy artist. She too has a daughter, Mandy. But Laura is haunted by the loss of her first child, Jody. Happy-go-lucky as she is, Mandy lives in Jody’s shadow and wonders why her mother can never let go.
Both mothers carry secrets in their hearts and cannot forget the day their paths crossed. But a chance discovery is about to bring everything into the open and mothers and daughters, love and lies, past and future, will spectacularly collide …
