From the windswept beaches of Anglesey, an unforgettable story of love, forgiveness and rediscovered hope.

Then she encounters Megan Williams, her estranged best friend. Fifteen years of silence and secrets have kept them apart, with Beth pursuing city life while Megan remained on the island, isolated and weighed down by painful regrets.

As Beth rediscovers her roots, the women cautiously rebuild their friendship. When Megan confesses the truth about their falling out, a fragile new bond grows between the women. Can they overcome their pasts to find the happiness they both deserve?

An uplifting and emotional story about second chances and the healing power of friendship, set against the backdrop of Anglesey's rugged beauty. Perfect for fans of Susanne O'Leary, Liz Eeles and Amanda Prowse.
