Sheryl Woods is the author of the family novel called Lilac Lane. Nearly all of the story takes place in current time in Maryland and on the beach. A smaller amount of the story takes place in Ireland. Nearly all of the characters are Irish or Irish/American. The main character is Keira Malone. She single handedly raised two sons and a daughter after her alcoholic husband abandoned the family. After her father and daughter moved to the Chesapeake Bay area they worry about her because Keira's fiancé died of a massive heart attack on the same day she agreed to take his hand in marriage. Keira decides to join her family. She still has two sons living in Ireland but they took after their Dad and are in and out of jail. Once in Maryland she meets her granddaughter who is 4 months old. She also meets her father's second wife (her mother died 5 years earlier). Will she fit in once she moves to Maryland? Will she win the cooking contest for the best Irish stew at the upcoming town festival? I enjoyed this family drama book.
