Itβs Friday, April 2. Daphne Darling knows that she should be celebrating her stepdaughter Unaβs 17th birthday, but itβs hard, because the date also marks the one-year anniversary of her husbandβs death and she and Una just canβt seem to connect anymore. Daphne canβt turn to her own mother Isobel for advice as their relationship is distant, to say the least, and Mo, Finnβs elderly mother, is still grief-stricken at the death of her only son, so she is of little help. But by the end of that day in April, marking the occasion with a slice of cake and a glass of wine will be the last thing on anyoneβs mindβ¦ Before that Friday, Daphne, Mo and Isobel were all stuck in the past, with their grief and their loss. And then Una takes matters into her own hands, and even though she makes a terrible mistake, she teaches Daphne, Mo and Isobel something about life: that it is to be lived and that, in spite of everything theyβve been through, happiness can still be a part of it.
