Summary

‘Fresh, funny and wise’ Katie Fforde‘I love Jane’s writing!’ Jill Mansell‘Feel-good’ Woman and Home 
Tess has downsized to a lively new town and is ready for “me” time. But her Zen-like calm is tested by her boomerang offspring, who keep fluttering back to the nest (usually with a full bag of dirty washing) and by her elderly mother’s struggle to hold on to her independence. 
Tess is also surprised to discover that there are dark resentments simmering beneath the vintage charm of her new hometown and a spate of vandalism has exposed the rift between the townsfolk and new arrivals like Tess. 
Tess enlists the help of gruff newspaper editor Malcolm to get to the bottom of the mystery but when her ex-husband pays an unexpected visit and her mother stages a disappearance, Tess starts to feel her new-found freedom wearing just a little thin… 
This top-rated fiction is a delightful blend of comedy and romance, where Tess's life becomes a testament to the unpredictability of family and the unexpected corners where we find love. Amidst the turmoil, she finds humour and romance, making her journey a best-seller in the making. 
For fans of Debbie Viggiano (Sadie's Spring Surprise), Carmen Reid (Three in a Bed), Jill Mansell (The Wedding of the Year), Judy Astley (A Merry Mistletoe Wedding), and Maggie O'Farrell (Hamnet).
