These Precious Hours is a collection of related and interconnected stories concerning loss and recovery. At the end, many of the characters meet.

Declan Mulligan has lost a wife and visits Ireland to connect with a remote past. Dexter Flanagan has lost a beautiful woman to another, but writes a great love song. After a personal tragedy, Sean Dineen joins his ailing ex-wife to see the wedding of their son in Paraguay.
