There’s even the promise of snow in the air, raising the prospect of a white Christmas. Not that trouble has entirely taken a holiday as the season brings its fair share of challenges as well, including a black-sheep brother hoping to reconcile with his estranged family before it’s too late, a worrisome outbreak of chickenpox, and a sick little girl whose faith in Christmas is in danger of being crushed in the worst way.As roaring fireplaces combat the brisk December chill, it’s up to O’Reilly to play Santa, both literally and figuratively, to make sure that Ballybucklebo has a Christmas it will never forget!Bonus: This heartwarming Yuletide tale also includes several mouth-watering recipes, straight from an Irish country kitchen.

The instant USA Today bestselller! An Irish Country Family is a charming entry in Patrick Taylor's beloved internationally bestselling Irish Country series. Before Doctor Barry Laverty joined Doctor Fingal O’Reilly's practice in the colorful Irish village of Ballybucklebo, he was an intern, working long hours, practicing new medical techniques, falling in love, and learning what is most important in the medical field for a family physician—the bonds of family, friendships, and human kindness. Years later, Barry practices everything he has learned in Ballybucklebo, a lovely village where neighbor looks after neighbor. And while his own efforts to start a family with his wife Sue have been frustrated, the community around him couldn’t be stronger as they work together to show their solidarity.

Vraťme se v čase o několik let, do doby, kdy mladý Barry Laverty v belfastské Královské nemocnici nastupuje povinnou roční praxi. Barry a jeho nejlepší kamarád Jack zažívají nekonečné dny a noci na pohotovosti i dalších odděleních, ale i vděčnost pacientů, nové lásky a v Barryho případě taky důraznou životní lekci, když mu nečekaná indispozice dá okusit nemocniční prostředí z pohledu bezmocného pacienta. A co se děje nyní, tedy po šesti letech? Barryho a jeho ženu Sue trápí, že se jim stále nedaří počít vytoužené dítě, třebaže už zkusili úplně všechno, včetně náročné laparoskopické operace… A co Barryho pacientka Anne, pomůže jí moderní radioterapie, anebo se musí smířit s nevyhnutelným? To doktor O’Reilly s přáteli vymyslel, kde zařídit místo, kde by se mohli setkávat opravdu všichni, bez ohledu na vyznání a politické preference. A záhadný protivný plukovník musí před jejich plány kapitulovat. Donala Donnellyho nedávno potkala pohroma, shořel mu dům – ale už je zase na koni: Nejenže dům znovu stojí, a ještě lepší než předtím, ale Donal zažije příjemná překvapení dokazující, jak nenahraditelní jsou dobří přátelé. V Ballybucklebo se zase dějí věci!
