When Jo Mackenzie's husband arrived home she was expecting him to tell her about his new job and where they would be moving next. What she wasn't expecting was for him to tell her that he'd been having an affair for the past year and that he wanted a divorce. He stormed out of the house and was killed in a car accident, leaving Jo with two young sons and very little money. To make a fresh start Jo sells their London home and moves to the Kent coast, where she takes over her grandmother's wool shop.
If this book appeals to you then you might also enjoy [[Uphill All the Way]] by Sue Moorcroft which deals with similar themes of loss and recovery.

|comment= Is it similar to Rosamund Pilcher? It sounds similar.

|comment= There's the same story-telling quality as Pilcher, but it's pacier and is more realistic in that every lose end is NOT tied up - there are situations which you feel are on-going. For me it was as enjoyable as Pilcher.

|comment= I had to gloss over near the end of your review because I could see some more plot emerging - just a wee bit too much information given away for me. This is exactly the kind of book I like and now I shall set about buying it.
