Mary is 11 years old and has an insuppressible passion for cooking: she dreams of becoming a great chef. Her grandmother Emer, with whom she has a very special relationship, encourages her to make this dream come true. But every path has its pesky obstacles and facing them turns into quite an adventure. Mary begins a journey across the barriers of time, in which four generations of women come together and get to know each other, truly and deeply.

Lies We Tell
Ireland, 1864. Newly orphaned heiress Maud Ruthyn becomes ward of her notorious uncle, Silas Ruthyn. Proud and grief-struck, Maud rejects her trustees Dr. Bryerly and Captain Ilbury, and welcomes Silas, his children Emily and Edward, and governess Madame to her isolated estate. But the arrival of Maud’s estranged family is a malign home invasion. Threatened, betrayed, and outnumbered, Maud now must fight for her birth right… Sometimes you must go to the dark side. Because that’s where your predator is. A subversive twist on the gothic sensation Uncle Silas, a classic novel by J.S. Le Fanu.
