About this listen

 An utterly heartwrenching, beautiful novel of love, loss and family from TOP 20 BESTSELLER Jo Bartlett

One small boy. One big second chance.

When Nancy O’Brien returns to St Nicholas Bay, the seaside town of her childhood, it isn’t the life she imagined. A talented drama teacher, she’s put her own ambitions aside to care for her family—always the one to shoulder responsibility. But when her path crosses with Jack, a grieving young widower trying to build a life for himself and his baby son Toby, Nancy finds her heart pulled in a direction she never expected.

Caring for a child who isn’t hers brings joy Nancy didn’t know she was missing—but it also stirs resentment. Toby’s grandmother can’t accept Nancy stepping into the role her daughter once held, and whispers of disapproval soon threaten to unravel everything.

And with Nancy’s mother concealing a secret powerful enough to shake their family to its core, Nancy must face the past she ran from if she ever wants the future she longs for.

Can she find the courage to love a man and a child who may never fully belong to her, or will the pull of old ties tear them all apart?
