Get this. Emily Lynch goes on her first-ever trip to Dublin to meet her uncle and aunt and cousin Noel. Arriving on the overnight flight from New York, she makes her way to their house, drops off her bags, goes out to the market, comes back with food and cooks dinner for them. By chance, her uncle is laid off from his job that day. Emily quickly moves in to set him up with a second career as a dog walker. She also gets her aunt to drop down to part-time work so she can raise funds for a statue of St. Jarlath.

A thrift shop will be a good money raiser, Emily thinks, and within a few days, she has found premises, and the shop is up and running. She gets her alcoholic young cousin Noel to go to night school and to Alcoholics Anonymous. So, within days of her arrival, all the Lynches, including Emily herself, are moving along new paths.
