Jason, Stock Exchange trader, is dismissed from his city job for misconduct. His wife, Libby, stands by him and they go back to his roots to help run his family’s B & B, his father having recently died. Libby has to make the best of a bad job. Her mother-in-law is highly critical, the B & B runs out of money and life is tough. She takes in a young woman, Alice, who has lost her memory after a car accident and had the address of the B & B in her pocket. Alice is an interesting character and obviously holds the answer to lots of the plot threads. How it all comes together is beautifully done and nicely unexpected. A good read. ~ Sarah Broadhurst

When Libby offers to take her in, this one small act of kindness sets in motion a chain of events that will change many people's lives ...
