When Helen Westley's elderly mother dies, leaving her
nothing more than a small allowance, she struggles to cope
with the shock. Having nursed her mother to the very end,
the last thing Helen expects is to be left homeless, but
when her mother's will reveals that the family home has been
left to Helen's half-brother, she must accept that her life
has changed forever.
In desperation, Helen accepts the post of live-in carer to
the bedridden Beatrice Tresikker, and moves from suburban
London to the village of Leyning near the south coast.
Although the relationship between the two women is initially
strained, they soon build a trusting and lasting friendship.
With the help and support of some of the
villagers--including the gruff doctor Hugh and the young
legal partner Frances--Helen determines to make her
patient's final weeks as comfortable as possible. But then
Beatrice's young, incredibly handsome American relative
appears on the scene, with stories of her estranged family
in America. But can his motives be trusted? And what does
the future now hold for Helen?
