'Anna Jacobs' books have an impressive grasp of human emotions' - Sunday Times

From the bestselling author of the Larch Tree Lane series

Lara Perryman has spent her life carefully planning and saving for her future. She is looking forward to the prospect of spending the rest of her days in comfort in a leisure village in Wiltshire and the adventure that her new life will bring.

But when long-standing arrangements crumble, her situation quickly becomes worrying. With her dreams in disarray, Lara makes friends with the other residents and finds herself entangled in the ups and downs, triumphs and tragedies of her new community, hoping against hope that her independence will one day be restored.

Perfect for fans of warm, uplifting authors like Milly Johnson, Cathy Bramley and Jenny Colgan
