A heartwarming small town tale of friendship, later-in-life romance, and second chances.
Sometimes you have to go back so you can move forward...
Bestselling author Flora Douglas has the perfect life - or that's how it looks from the outside. Her grown-up children have flown the nest, her divorce is amicable (even if her ex still can't figure out the boiler) and she's ready for the second act of her life. The only problem is - she's stuck.
With her book deadline looming, one impulsive decison changes everything - and she finds herself booking a six month stay in the house she grew up in.
The Harbour House doesn't look like her childhood home. It's been renovated beautifully - erasing every trace of the place where she grew up in foster care.
She hasn't returned for thirty years, but the village hasn't forgotten her - and neither has Tor Wilson, the boy whose careless teasing was the final straw that sent her running.
Now Flora and Tor are forced to face the question they've both been avoiding - who are you when everything you've built falls away?
As Flora reluctantly teaches a creativity workshop and Tor builds a space for lonely men to find friendship and purpose, the two of them discover that healing the past might be the only way to move forward.
Sometimes the life you spent years escaping is the one waiting to save you.
Perfect for readers who love small towns, hopeful women's fiction, and uplifting happy-ever-afters.
