Sisters Ella and Roberta O'Callaghan live in separate wings of
their crumbling Irish mansion. They haven't spoken for decades,
torn apart by a dark family secret from their past, and only
communicate through the terse and bitter notes they leave for each
other in the hallway. Debbie, an American woman, is searching for
her birth mother. She has little time left but as she sets out to
discover who she really is and what happened to her mother, she is
met by silence and lies at the local convent. With the bank
threatening, Ella tries to save the family home by opening a cafe
in the ballroom much to Roberta's disgust. And when Debbie offers
to help out in the cafe, the war between the sisters intensifies.
But as Debbie finally begins to unravel the truth, she uncovers an
adoption scandal that will rock both the community and the warring
sisters. Powerful and poignant, The Ballroom Cafe is a moving story
of love lost and found. PRAISE FOR THE BALLROOM CAFE 'Secrets
