However, Sarah is not alone in her angst over Desmond's release, and a web of lies soon becomes untangled over the events which lead to Jack Connolly's death.Can Sarah find it in her heart to forgive Desmond? A Sweet Smell of Strawberries takes in a beautiful Irish setting along the coastline of Donegal and The Wild Altlantic way. A story of love, heartache and retribution which makes you realise no one is perfect!
