The Creek: A Novel
About this ebook
Kate Irving shows up at her grandfather's cottage on the remote Cornish coast with her young son, a single suitcase, and nowhere else to turn. The small community tucked along a quiet creek is close-knit, and used to keeping its distance—especially when the newcomer is tied to one of their most respected residents.
