Book: The Connelly’s of County Down
Author: Tracey Lang
Publisher: Celedon Books
Stars: 4.5/5

The Connelly’s of County Down is a heartwarming story of family, drama and laughter centering around three siblings. I have to admit that I totally enjoyed a book with a family that is much more dysfunctional than mine.

Tara is the youngest. She is returning home after being “gone” in the penitentiary for 18 months to the family home to start life again. At home is her brother Eddie, his son Conor and older sister Geraldine.
Geraldine had been trying to keep things running at the Connelly house while Tara was gone. Geraldine works full time and boy does she have some crazy issues of her own. There there is Eddie who is lucky to be alive from an accident that occurred when he was a teenager which has left him with lasting health issues and PTSD. Lastly, there is Conor, Eddie’s sweet adorable son who just loves everyone and want to be loved back.

The story starts with Tara on her release day from prison. Her sister, Geraldine is suppose to pick her up but ends up not coming. Tara hitches a ride back home with Brian, the detective who arrested her. To make matters worse for her when she arrives home no one is there to great her and the bedroom now has a padlock on it.

The relationships that intertwine with these siblings as they come back together to learn about one another again is fantastic. They start to understand each other but also realize the all of secrets they are carrying. Eventually, secrets come out, relationships are tested but they do triumph and become a family again.
And what about Brian and Tara should they or shouldn’t they have a relationship.

What I really liked about this story is the Connelly’s area family that will do anything for the ones they love. Redemptions occurs, responsibilities are taken, romance happens and forgiveness is obtained. This book was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed reading/ listening to it.

A big thank you to Netgalley for my Audio ARC, to Celadon Books and to Tracey Lang for writing this sweet book.

This book tells the story of the Brennan family, specifically the Brennan children. The Brennans own a pub named Brennans on Long Island.

Five years prior to the story starting, Sunday Brennan left the Island to move to California and pursue a writing career. The story starts when Sunday is brought to the hospital following a car accident. Her emergency contact is her brother, Denny, who comes out to California to see her and brings her home.

Once home, she helps out with the pub and trying to figure out the books. When she first runs into Kale, her boyfriend from 5 years ago, it is awkward. He's now married and has a son.

Between the pub's finances and Sunday's dad's declining health, it quickly becomes apparent that help is needed and Sunday and her siblings, along with Kale, work together to solve the problems plaguing the pub.

This family story is full of heart. After one member returns from prison to rejoin her siblings, the back story gradually unfolds as we get to know Tara, Geraldine and Eddie. The supporting characters are just as appealing, although each was flawed in the most human of ways. I cared about each one and their connection to one another was inspiring. The plot has a few weak points but not enough to spoil this endearing story. In the end for me it's always about story and this one delivers!
