Cathy Carmody is a beautiful and successful young woman but her confident facade masks the pain that she has never revealed, even to her closest friends. When a series of events triggers memories of her troubled past, Cathy turns to a new friend, Stephen Brown, for advice and support. Stephen is attractive, charming and sympathetic - and a Catholic priest. Is the help and friendship he offers her purely platonic? It is only when Cathy falls for Stephen’s younger brother, Jack, that Stephen acknowledges his true feelings for her. Jack always gets what he wants, no matter who he has to trample on in the process. Things take a complicated twist when Cathy has to decide between the two very different brothers. A Life Of Her Own is more than a love story. It’s about striving to make the right personal choices under challenging circumstances. This novel has its finger on the pulse of contemporary urban life. Cunningham turns personal issues into immensely readable fiction.
