Summary

A feel-good story of new beginnings set in a gorgeous country village.

'A lovely story of finding yourself and discovering what home means. I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Loved it.' Jessica Redland

After losing her job in New York, Amber Green isn’t looking forward to visiting her godmother in the sleepy village of Cranbridge. With its empty lanes and rundown shops, it’s hardly a place to mend her lonely heart.

But when Amber discovers that Cranbridge Stores, owned by her godmother Cathy and son Josh, is under threat of financial ruin, she realises that her skills as a window dresser might just be able to help save the struggling shop.

When disaster strikes, Amber and Josh must unite to save both the shop and the village from flooding.

Can Cranbridge Stores become the heart of the village once more?

And as the village begins to come back to life, perhaps Amber will discover a reason to stay…

A feel-good listen perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Milly Johnson

'Glorious escapism. Uplifting, heartwarming and joyful, Alison Sherlock writes with a warmth and lightness of touch' Kerry Fisher

Amazing

It’s starts of slow and uneventful but as soon as you get past chapter 10 it gets exciting and starts to get interesting and eventually in the end you will be full of anticipation of what will happen in the next books

Chicklit

This is just a cute story. Nothing to tax your brain. Pretty much guessed the whole thing but hey, we all need a happy ever after story every now and then.

Predictable but comforting

The storyline is very predictable, however seeing as this book was included in my membership I didn’t mind.
Was a nice comforting listen for the commute.
