Publisher Description

Escape to Cornwall for an enchanting, heartwarming new novel about friendship, hope and second chances in this standalone novel…

‘A charming and original concept’ Sunday Times bestseller Katie Fforde

Three years ago, Joy Pentire lost her firefighter husband and she still hasn’t returned to the woman she once was. But then she meets Hope, one of the residents at the nursing home where she’s a carer.

Hope has a secret gift that she wants to pass on.
And Joy’s life is forever changed.

Surrounded by the community in her Cornish hometown, Joy’s unexpected inheritance soon leads to new opportunities, new friends, new love, and the part of herself she’d thought forever lost … her joy.

A heart-warming, joyful story of the power of personal connection perfect for fans of 59 Memory Lane, Hazel Prior and Finding Henry Applebee.

‘A highly original story with more than a hint of Cornish magic’ Celia Anderson, bestselling author of 59 Memory Lane
