Aisling Ever After

Aisling Ever After

By Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen

 Aisling is almost 32, and she’s still a complete Aisling. 

 

Living in the Big Apple feels like a movie, especially when Aisling finds her ex-boyfriend John on her doorstep. Can his new-found devotion (and his new six-pack!) lure her back home? Or should she continue to chase the American dream with the Irish Mafia and Jeff, the ridey fireman? 

 

Meanwhile, in Ballygobbard, it’s all go. Baby showers are the new hen parties, Mammy and Dr Trevor are more serious than Aisling thought, and the prospect of two evil stepsisters has her doubting her place in the family. 

 

Pulled between head, heart and home, Aisling strives to finally create her own happy-ever-after.
