Ausnahmen von der Regel sind nur in folgenden Fällen erlaubt: Nervosität, Verlust des Arbeitsplatzes, Gewichtszunahme, Liebeskummer, schlechtes Vorsprechen für einen Film, gutes Vorsprechen für einen Film, für den ich doch nicht engagiert werde, Überraschungsbesuche von meiner Mutter, kein Anruf vom ATML (absoluter Traumtyp meines Lebens) und alle anderen Situationen, in denen mir etwas wirklich Schlimmes passiert. Amen!«

Carlene Rivers is many things. Dutiful, reliable, kind. Lucky? Not so much. At thirty, she's living a stifling existence in Cleveland, Ohio. Then one day, Carlene buys araffle ticket. The prize: a pub on the west coast of Ireland. Carlene is stunned when she wins. Everyone else is stunned when she actually goes. As soon as she arrives in Ballybeog, Carlene is smitten not just by the town's beguiling mix of ancient and modern, but by the welcome she receives. In this small town near Galway Bay, strife is no stranger, strangers are family, and no one is ever too busy for a cup of tea or a pint. And though her new job presents challenges - from a meddling neighbour to thepub's colourful regulars - there are compensations galore. Like the freedom to sing, joke, and tell stories, and in doing so, find her own voice. And in her flirtation with Ronan McBride, the pub's charming, reckless former owner, she just may find the freedom to follow where impulse leads and trust her heart - and her luck - for the very first time ..
