How far would you go to bring a dead parent back from the grave?
Breeda Looney tells herself she's happy with her life in a remote Irish fishing village. Sure, there are days she talks to no one but the cat, her panic attacks have become public spectacles, and old Aunt Nora considers her a total waste of skin.

But Breeda's life is about to change with the unearthing of an old family secret never meant to see the light of day: her beloved father - said to have drowned when Breeda was a child - might actually still be alive.

Breeda's search for her father will force her to question everything she thought she knew, pitting her against her formidable aunt and forcing her to revisit old haunts from her distant past.

And as she digs deeper into the family dirt, exposing a sordid scandal along the way, Breeda will be forced to make a stark choice: either leave her father in the past, or say goodbye to the safe life she knows...

Heartwarming and quirky, darkly funny and at times deeply moving, Breeda Looney Steps Forth follows one woman's quest to find her truth and, ultimately, her place in the world. Full of colorful characters and brimming with surprisingly tender moments, this touching tale from Ireland reminds us of the contradictions and complexities that make us all human.
