If Only

Erin wants a fresh start.

With her thirtieth birthday coming up, she's taken a long hard look at her life (the job she hates, the wedding she just cancelled) and concluded that it's basically a mess.

A trip to her hometown in Ireland to visit her beloved grandmother is a welcome escape from her disappointments.
