Firefly Summer is a captivating tale set in a small, sleepy Irish town, exploring the lives of the Ryan family who run the local pub.

Every summer, the four Ryan children play in the ruins of Fernscourt, the once-grand house on the bank of the river. But when the estate is bought by Patrick O’Neill, a wealthy Irish American, his grand plans for its development threaten to shatter the peace.

A new luxury hotel promises to breathe new life into the village, yet it could also spell disaster for the Ryan family. As old values and traditions begin to crumble away, no-one – not even Patrick – can predict what his big dreams will do to the heart of their quiet village.

Loyalties are challenged, jealousies ignited, and tragedy strikes before the foundation is laid. Suddenly, Kate and John Ryan's lives and family are bound up with the newcomer in ways they could never imagine. Patrick O'Neill faces his own crisis of conscience and heart as the events he sets in motion take on a life of their own in a town that will never be the same again.
