Publishing 14th April
2014
On
a grey and miserable morning in 2008, London businesswoman, Angelica Ford boards
a plane and flies off to the blues and greens of her mother’s island in the
Caribbean. Angelica is desperate. She is looking for a way to save her marriage
and win back her daughter. A web of lies has torn a hole into her seemingly
perfect world and she is convinced that only her mother, Josephine Dennis, can
help her turn her life around.
Josephine Dennis arrived in
England by ship on a cold winter’s morning as a young mother joining her
husband. She weathers a lifetime of secrets and betrayal, as she raises her
family in 1960s London. A matriarch with strong family values, she told her
children colourful stories to guide them through life. It is the wisdom of one
of these stories that Angelica seeks. Josephine has one last story to tell – the
story that could change both of their lives.

Hi there, just dropping by to say a big thank you for the cover reveal!

Hi Fran! My favourite book growing up was Frances Hodges Burnett's "The Garden". Gave me a taste for gardening, exploring and wanting to know "what's over that wall" �� Cheers, Andrea Evans Andie_E at Twitter, UK.
The Secret Garden was one of my favourites, read it a few times but never got in to gardening,though, I must admit!
