Turning towards the lighthouse, Sarah wipes a tear from her eye as she reads the inscription on the faded photograph. Will this discovery tear her family apart for good?

After running from her mother's seaside cottage ten years ago following a devastating loss, Sarah returns to the village of Dovecote to fulfil her father's dying wish. As she opens the gate of her childhood home, long-buried emotions rise to the surface. Having drifted from the close-knit community, she can't bear to face those she hurt when she left.

When Sarah dislodges a loose floorboard in her mother's bedroom, she finds a yellowed envelope filled with photos from the Second World War. Turning one over, her eyes widen at the two women pictured in her mother's garden. Why were these photos kept hidden? And why does one of the women look so familiar?

Clutching the delicate photograph, Sarah turns to the one person who can help her make sense of what she's found: her estranged husband, Rob. Staring into his kind, sapphire-blue eyes as they unravel a decades-old mystery, can Sarah find the courage to reveal why she really left Dovecote all those years ago?

But just as Sarah and Rob begin to rekindle their relationship, a heart-wrenching revelation about Sarah's mother forces her to make an impossible decision. Will sharing this painful secret with Rob bring them back together? Or is Sarah destined to keep running from Dovecote forever?

A totally gorgeous and emotional story that will reveal long-lost family secrets and show you it's never too late to forgive and find love again. Perfect for anyone who loves Susanne O'Leary, Debbie Macomber, and Mary Alice Monroe.
