Can a mother's secret past provide the answers for a daughter's
future? Celebrity photographer Grace Buchanan has always known
that, one day, she'd swap her manic day job for the peace and quiet
of her beloved childhood cottage, St Christopher's - she just
didn't expect it to be so soon. At the reading of her mother's
will, she's shocked to learn that she hardly knew Rosamund at all,
and that inheriting St Christopher's hangs on one big - and very
inconvenient - condition: Grace must drop everything for two weeks
and travel the country with a mysterious stranger - war-weary Royal
Marine, Alasdair Finn. Caught in a brief but perfect moment in
time, Grace and Alasdair walk in Rosamund's footsteps and read her
letters at each breathtaking new place. As Grace slowly uncovers
the truth about her mother's incredible life story, Alasdair and
Grace can't help but question their own futures. Will Rosamund's
madcap scheme go to plan or will events take an unexpected turn? An
emotional, fun-filled and adventurous journey of a lifetime.
