A House Full of Women by Joan O'neill
Olivia Healy is about to marry handsome Barry Breslin - heir to Breslin's Bakery - in a proper white wedding. It looks as if the family's luck is changing. Queenie, Olivia's grandmother, married in haste and settled for her daughter and her shop in Abbeyville. Lorraine, Olivia's mother, ran off with the lion tamer from the circus, and had to settle for Phil Healey. What they don't know is that Olivia is about to meet Lorenzo O'Brien and that things are going to go wildly wrong...
