The Simple Rules of Love: A heartbreaking, emotional story of love and family from Amanda Brookfield

For some families, a year can feel like a lifetime. The Harrisons were always a close-knit family.

But with the grandchildren fast becoming adults and elderly Pamela struggling to adapt to widowhood, the four children of the middle generation find themselves equally lost in a changing world.

As preparations for 42-year-old Cassie's long-awaited wedding gather pace, sibling and marital bonds are stretched to breaking point. Adultery, an unwanted pregnancy, and shadows of past losses threaten to turn their year of celebration into one of upheaval . . .

Beset by such emotional chaos, how can the adults hope to guide their children in matters of the heart?

Or are the children the ones who should be guiding them?
