Somewhere in the Lake District lies the secret to a family’s forgotten past.
Escape to The Lakes with a heartwarming story of lost love, family ties, and new beginnings.When London teacher Sybil heads to the Lake District for a summer break, she expects a holiday filled with long walks, beautiful scenery and time to recover from a broken heart. What she doesn’t expect is to find herself searching for a secret buried in her own family’s past.
Her grandad, Henry, has always loved the Lake District. It was where his father, Albert, brought him on holiday as a child. But there is one thing Henry has never been able to explain: why was Albert, a young soldier who arrived at a wartime hospital suffering from shell shock and barely remembering his own name, drawn to Coniston? Albert’s memories of his life before the war were almost completely lost.
Now Sybil wants to find the missing pieces. Armed with her camera, and a letter from the past, she begins asking questions and soon uncovers the possibility that Albert’s story may be far more complicated than the family ever imagined. Because somewhere beyond the lost memories, the wartime years, and the family stories passed down through generations, there may be someone still connected to Albert from his past.
And as Sybil follows the clues towards an old house, a forgotten love, and a family who once called Yewdale House home, she begins to wonder whether some secrets are lost forever – or simply waiting for the right person to come looking for the truth.
Sometimes the past isn't lost. It's simply waiting to be found.
