The USA Today bestselling author presents a
heartfelt novel about two sisters struggling toward new
lives and loves.
Welcome to Hartley-by-the-Sea
in England’s beautiful Lake District, where two sisters
who meet as strangers find small miracles tucked into
the corners of every day....
When Lucy Bagshaw’s
life in Boston falls apart, thanks to a scathing editorial
written by her famous artist mother, she accepts her half
sister Juliet’s invitation to stay with her in a charming
seaside village in northern England. Lucy is expecting
quaint cottages and cream teas, but instead finds that her
sister is an aloof host, the weather is wet, windy, and
cold, and her new boss, Alex Kincaid, is a disapproving
widower who only hired her as a favor to
Juliet.
Despite the invitation she offered, Juliet is
startled by the way Lucy catapults into her orderly life. As
Juliet faces her own struggles with both her distant mother
and her desire for a child, her sister’s irrepressible
optimism begins to take hold. With the help of quirky
villagers, these hesitant rainy day sisters begin to forge a
new understanding…and find in each other the love of family
that makes all the difference.
