The New York Times bestselling author of The Beach House, Jemima J, and Sister Stardust presents a novel about the pleasure and meaning of finding a home—and family—where you least expect them...

When Emma Montague left the strict confines of upper-crust British life for New York, she felt sure it would make her happy. Away from her parents and expectations, she felt liberated, throwing herself into Manhattan life replete with a high-paying job, a gorgeous apartment, and a string of successful boyfriends. But the cutthroat world of finance and relentless pursuit of more began to take its toll. This wasn’t the life she wanted either.

On the move again, Emma settles in the picturesque waterfront town of Westport, Connecticut, a world apart from both England and Manhattan. It is here that she begins to confront what it is she really wants from her life. With no job, and knowing only one person in town, she channels her passion for creating beautiful spaces into remaking the dilapidated cottage she rents from Dominic, a local handyman who lives next door with his six-year-old son.

Unlike any man Emma has ever known, Dominic is confident, grounded, and committed to being present for his son whose mother fled shortly after he was born. They become friends, and slowly much more, as Emma finds herself feeling at home in a way she never has before.

But just as they start to imagine a life together as a family, fate intervenes in the most shocking of ways. For the first time, Emma has to stay and fight for what she loves, for the truth she has discovered about herself, or risk losing it all.

In a novel of changing seasons, shifting lives, and selfless love, a story unfolds—of one woman’s far-reaching journey to discover who she is truly meant to be... Women's Fiction Family Life Contemporary Genre Fiction

I loved this book!

I love Jane Green so I didn’t even read what this book was about before I purchased it. Let me just say it was shockingly sad and happy all at the same time.

I cried in sadness and smiled in hopefulness throughout this gem of a book. Being from Ny I could picture Dominic perfectly.

Great story as usual!
I’ve been hooked on Jane Green Since Jemima J!

I almost couldn't listen to the entire book because the narration was so bad. Great story and characters though so I found myself wanting, needing to know what happened next. Stick to writing, Ms. Green, I do love your books, but this story would have been 5 stars if read by someone else.
