Spring has arrived in Tuppenny Bridge. Daffodils line the cobbled streets and perfume the air with the sweet smells of the season. But for Bethany Marshall, coming home unearths a past she has spent thirty years desperately trying to forget... When Bethany learns that her estranged brother, Joseph, has died, she’s devastated. Returning home to Tuppenny Bridge is the last thing she wants to do, but she has no choice.Making her way over the River Skimmer, rain coats the windscreen as she looks out at landscapes she hasn’t seen for over three decades. Happier times flash through her mind - birthday laughter, glimmering Christmas lights and her precious big brother, before he broke her heart. And now, with him gone, so is any hope of an apology...To Bethany’s dismay, her childhood home, Whispering Willows, has been converted into a horse sanctuary and the house, as well as the animals, are now in her care.Bethany has one goal in sight - sell the property before the past catches up with her. It’s not going to be easy: the house has been neglected, the stables are falling apart and then there’s Clive Browning, her brother’s best friend. His presence, at first unwanted, begins to stir up emotions in Bethany that she’s never felt before.But just when Bethany starts to accept that there may be hope for a new beginning in Tuppenny Bridge, a shattering revelation comes to light, making Bethany question all she thought was true... A beautifully emotional story set in the gorgeous Yorkshire Dales, where the tender shoots of love, hope and forgiveness are beginning to burst into life. Fans of Heidi Swain, Cathy Bramley and Milly Johnson will adore this.What readers are saying about the Tuppenny Bridge series:'Oh wow, I loved this book it made me smile, laugh, cry and you can feel the love between the characters.'
