Beginning in the early 1970's, in rural Ireland, Precious Times spans three decades in the lives of two Irish women, Cathy Corway and Pauline Dutton - two more unlikely friends would be hard to find. During their vulnerable teenage years when a series of tragedies strike, Cathy becomes undeniably withdrawn and her only real solace is her horse Dubba. He gives her something to focus on. But Pauline is left without an anchor and battles her way through an unforgiving and frightening world. As the years pass and their strengths grow, both women refuse to allow one hardship after another to affect them adversely - they courageously pick themselves up and rebuild each time, but the lessons learnt leave indelible marks. Precious Times is a tale of love and heartbreak, laughter and tears that will strike a chord with all women - especially those who have ever been betrayed.
