Omschrijving

Sometimes ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference . . .

Meet Gracie. At mid-life she’s fed up with her unhappy marriage and humdrum career, so when a new housing estate threatens to sever the last connection to her late father, the oak tree he planted as a child, she decides to take a stand – only, Gracie has never stood up to anyone.

When five-year-old neighbour Tilly unexpectedly bounds into her life, she shows Gracie that you shouldn’t always take no for an answer. Despite revelations of long-buried family secrets and conflicts taking root, perhaps this could be the beginning of a new chapter, one in which Gracie finally discovers her inner strength and realises that even in the face of loss, there is hope.

Full of warmth and joyful community, this is the uplifting story of one woman’s journey towards letting go of the past and creating memories worth holding onto . . .
