Summary

From the bestselling author of Everything Is Beautiful, comes an utterly heartwarming new novel, about what it truly means to belong to those you love.

................................................

Sometimes you need to open your heart to find where you truly belong . . .

When unexpected circumstances bring Grace's estranged daughter, Amelia, and granddaughter, Charlotte, to live in her home, complicated feelings start to emerge, revealing a messy and emotional past which drove this family apart.

It will take a school mystery, an exquisite miniature railway and some brave decisions to help them each find not only themselves, but also each other - and to appreciate what it truly means to belong together.

This uplifting novel will warm your heart and touch your soul, and remind you of all the reasons humans can be downright wonderful.

Thoughtful and kind

A gentle tale told with kindness and grace, I loved the story, slightly quirky characters and doesn’t shy away from truth of life and all its ups and downs.
Thoroughly enjoyed every minute
