Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Full of warmth and joyful community, this is the uplifting story of one woman’s journey towards letting go of the past and creating memories worth holding on to . . .
‘I adored this heartwarming tale’ – Kate Storey, author of The Memory Library
'Full of charm' - Laura Pearson, author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont
'An uplifting read - heartwarming and full of hope' - Neil Alexander, author of The Lost Past of Billy McQueen
It's never too late to start a new chapter . . .
Meet Gracie. At mid-life, she’s fed up with her unhappy marriage and humdrum career. So when a new housing estate threatens to sever her last connection to her late father – the oak tree he planted as a child – she decides to take a stand. Only Gracie has never stood up to anyone.
When Gracie’s five-year-old neighbour, Tilly, unexpectedly bounds into her life, she shows Gracie that you shouldn’t always take no for an answer. Despite long-buried family secrets being revealed and conflicts taking root, Gracie begins to think that this could be the beginning of a new chapter – one in which she finally discovers her inner strength and realizes that even in the face of loss, there is hope.
'Warm and tender . . . this book had me smiling, crying and cheering' - Jay McKenzie, author of How to Lose the Lottery
‘Very real and heartwarming . . . I loved it’ – Alexandra Potter, bestselling author of Confessions of a Forty-Something
‘Wonderfully drawn characters you really root for’ – Mike Gayle, author of All the Lonely People
