It's never too late for second chances...
For the first time in her life, Lydia is taking a great big leap of faith. She's moving to a small town on the west coast of Ireland to overhaul a large, long-abandoned residence named Chance House with her new husband.
Then tragedy strikes, and Lydia is reminded why she doesn't take chances.
Suddenly she's facing a very different prospect: a half-finished ramshackle estate, an overgrown garden, dwindling funds, no-one to turn to - and everywhere she looks, reminders of the love she's lost.
Starting over feels impossible. Staying put feels harder still.
But when the local community rallies around her, and Lydia is unexpectedly reminded of the power of new beginnings, she realises she might just owe it to herself and them to take a second chance on Chance House...
From the bestselling author comes a brand-new heartbreaking yet hopeful read about putting the broken pieces of your life back together again, even when it feels impossible, and the importance of community.
