A tender, uplifting story about healing, hope and new beginnings, for readers of Milly Johnson, Katie Fforde and Beth Moran.

Can Molly find the courage to open her heart? ❤️☀️

When Molly loses her husband unexpectedly, she’s left with a growing sense that she never truly knew the man she shared her life with. Together since their schooldays and parents to four children, Molly had always believed their story was simple – until Jake’s absence begins to reveal hidden chapters.

Then, a series of intriguing boxes starts arriving at her door, each one containing a clue to Jake’s secret past. Sent by her best friend, these parcels urge Molly to confront truths she never imagined.

Along the way, she meets Tom, a talented artist determined to break free from the limitations of his own life. Tom and Molly are passionately drawn to one another, but can they each find the courage to start again?

As the last boxes lead Molly to ever more surprising revelations, will she hold more tightly on to the past – or embrace the possibility of new love?
